Right. The difference seems to be that I keep that in mind even when
reading posts from him of which I don't think they're relevant for me --
and just ignore them. Russell (like anybody else) comes as a "package". If
you don't like the package, just filter it out. If you do like it, accept
it as it is :)

FWIW, I don't filter out anything or anybody. I just ignore threads that
are not of interest to me. Depending on the phase, I read between 0% and
50% of the list, and the percentage simply reflects how much I'm willing to
spend on it. Discussing this issue (or even reading the posts of this
discussion) probably takes longer than it the time I spend on ignoring all
threads I'm not interested in during a whole year. Think about this when
complaining about something like this next time -- in terms of engineering
and efficiency.

You don't have to read everything you receive, even as a list subscriber :)
