I am in support for this action. Besides this adds an additional "feature" to the mailing list. Once one is tired of a mailing list, instead of unsubscribing via normal ways just sent a top posted reply to the next email from the list :-)
(Granted using this feature can be a disaster in certain mailing lists --- for some unexplained reason OpenBSD lists comes in my mind first)
That's rediculous everyone should be free to post and free to choose what they send to a killfile. You could add a per user related killfile mechanism to the mailing list. That way the sender doesn't know he gets limited response for a reason and won't just use a different email, but I feel less strongly and think it's not worth the effort?
Remember how others wrote that bottom posting forces us to contemplate on the quoted parts? I don't know if you did, but I don't understand what you are saying and, incidentally, you forgot to quote Alan's statement, without which Piyush's reply is obscure. -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos
