Filtering the RIPE WG lists has been suggested earlier. In the discussions there was consensus that content or sender based filters are a dangerous proposition because the RIPE WG should be as open as possible. Therefore we currently filter only messages which are clearly commercial spam. I personally think that it is much better if everyone decides indicidually whether to read particular messages. I for one completely filter anything from Jim Fleming. Daniel

Well, wouldn't it be more efficient to filter such things at the listserv instead then ? I'm sure it would safe many people lots of time ...
Or isn't it possible to exclude certain emails from some mailing lists for excessive off-topic postings, if this is the case ? That would be a normal practice and would be favoured by people subscribing to focused discussion lists, such as RIPE WG lists.
shouldn't be a hard thing to do ...
