2. This is a low-traffic list, so even without appropriate mail client support it's really not a big deal.
The volume isn't the point, the S:N ratio is. Mails like this thread's starter are off-topic and reduce the value of the list to its subscribers. Your reasoning is easy, common and fallacious.
Speaking of "this thread's starter" -- unless I've lost track of the thread here completely haha -- this all got started because one infrequent poster decided that he had to be Hall Monitor(tm) and chide others about List Etiquette(tm) My personal solution to that Hall Monitor remains the same as it's been for $very_long_time Thunderbird Email --> Message Filters --> Select Filter "NANOG" Thunderbird Email --> Message Filters "NANOG" --> add Hall Monitor Thunderbird Email --> Message Filters "NANOG" --> add offending thread subject Thunderbird Email --> [select Folder "NANOG"] Thunderbird Email --> Tools --> Run Filters on Folder **poof** I'm sure those who are more cunning can figure out something with procmail and mutt and all, but I'm older now and more ... gooey... - John --
