To Kirk and all speakup members please read.

[Rejean Proulx]

I am sympathetic to Kirk on this.  A list moderator is not a baby sitter.
It always takes two people to argue.  If you ignore crap, it goes away to
someone who pays attention to it.  I have used kill files once, but it
really spoils a persons day.  The best solution is to have everyone just
stop the garbage.
