As much as it shames me, I have recently discovered that by filtering messages from only 2 participants and setting body filters on 3 keywords have remarkably improved the usefulness of this listserve.
As much as I do enjoy some of the filtered subject matter, I really feel it is very off subject and makes this listserver useless for the intended task.
I guess that makes me a censor and it has me reexamining some things.
It is very confusing to _me_, Chip, that you are ashamed of this or that it has shaken your beliefs somehow. Is it that you are not aware of the distinction between coercive "silencing of the speaker" censorship and non-coercive "ceasing to list to the speaker" censorship? I would love to know the two names and three subjects. In the spirit of reciprocation, here is a file called "cpunks.filter" I have. I currently process it by hand or with simple tcsh scripts. Actually I don't actually refer to this file very often. - ------- begin included file "cpunks.filter" ------- Authors: Bryce 9 Black Unicorn 7 Duncan Frissell 7 Robert A.
