Why are the list moderators a) still allowing boring diatribes from Armed Blowfish and b) allowing 2 day old boring diatribes from anybody through all of a sudden.
Even people who write boring diatribes eventually tire of it. These things pass. Some of us would prefer to make our own judgements about what we want to read instead of sticking the list admins with that job. If I find Armed Blowfish boring I don't need to read very much before my finger finds the delete key on my keyboard.
Ah, I remember the good old days when it was possible to delete individual messages. Of course, back then it wasn't easy to ignore entire threads. Yeah, I don't think it was ever easy to sort through the boring stuff and find the interesting stuff in an unmoderated mailing list. I'm jealous that you figured out a way to do it.
