What a week! What is this? "Net Loon pig-pile on Cypherpunks day?"
So far i have killfiled three people in the past two days. (That is the total number I filtered to trash before that date.)
For those of you who are sick of wading through this mess, I am willing to show you what it will take to filter those of your choice to /dev/null or its local equivelent. (procmail can be your friend!)
Maybe after some creative filtering, the list will settle back to the usual noise, instead of the net-loon noise.
As the smoke from the first rounds of cyber-gunfire of the Gilmore vs Vulius shootout were wafting thru C-space several of us were bemoaning the fact that the entire issue hadn't been handled thru creative filtering on the part of list members as opposed to the heavy-handed "Big-Bro'ish" plug pulling by Mr. Gilmore. The "net-loon noise" level increase was predictable. Like you I will continue to perform creative filtering in order to extract the 4 out of 240 messages worth reading in any given 48 hour period. cvhd
