That's the thing, other people are obviously not in agreeance with you
about the threads being off-topic. Some people do agree. The ones that
do are free to never have to see a systemd thread again, or never see a
thread started by a person they think is only here to incite argument
again, with minor configuration of any news reader worth it's salt.

With "-general" MLs, I don't really see the point of censorship of
anything that isn't blatant spam, which the systemd threads are not. I
particularly don't see the point when it's generally trivial for people
who are bothered by some thread or some offer to hide them.

You are not the arbiter of "pointless noise" for this list. Neither am
I. I'm the arbiter of "pointless noise" for what I read, and I'm more
than capable of ensuring that I don't read "pointless noise" -- so are
you. The list should not bend to the whim of accusations of noise, the
filters and killfiles of the accuser should.
