and i simply say, that if you really want a locked down environment for only
emails that you, and your friends/peers feel are appropriate.. then you
should create a moderated list of your own... you'd have complete, and utter
mastery over what could be submited/posted...

but i don't believe the list needs you, or anyone else as it's police..
every so often people tend to pop up, and want to police the list in their
image... top/side/bottom posting routinely gets this kind of conversation...

peace

If my kids do something wrong, I make sure they understand that it's
their fault, and it's up to them to make it right.  Same for Karl.  If
what he's doing is wrong, it's HIS responsibility to make it right.
Not you, not me.  Why should we be punished for his bad behavior?

Are you willing to filter out off-topic mails for the rest of us?

It's not about voting, it's about the list charter.  This is the
Fedora list.  Posts that aren't about Fedora are not appropriate here.
Posting such emails to this list is wrong, no matter how much some of
us (myself not included) say "it's ok".

And being a "regular" here doesn't give you the right to post whatever
you feel like posting.  *Each* post needs to be on-topic for this
list.

So, if someone wants to keep stealing my television, I should just
keep buying new ones?

I get tens of thousands of emails a day.  My filtering system is
already complex enough that adding more is not a feasible option,
especially when it's so difficult to tell, programatically, what's
topical.
