One really has to admire people with open minds. Hopefully, history will remember who they are.

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.

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 ...
