You will be happy to know that solving that problem will be extremely important (probably even in the short term). We need a positive reputation system (kill files filter against negative reputations) so that you only see mail messages by people who have a reputation for valuable postings. I rambled about this topic at the last cypherpunks meeting. I will be posting my notes in an effort to get feedback and organizational help from the people on the list (it will be a few days, however). The content will eventually be organized into something that I hope will spread. dean
