Jef,

If it was up to me, people who misbehave, abuse or spam the ML would
have been banned from fedora-* and forced to pay for the wasted
bandwidth they consumed.... But that's me.
However, I understand that we are living in an imperfect world that is
being governed by a set of imperfect rules.
As such, we are left with one of two choice:
Continue being hammered by 100's of OT messages per day or get these
discussions off-main-list. (Unless you're willing to give -me- the
keys to the ML's - the peace loving dove that I am... :))
