I kind of thought that this would come, sooner or later. But I still think
that this discussion is OT, and that whoever wants to have it should go OT
with it (and spend the little effort to enable OT temporarily for this
purpose, or read the messages in one of the reflectors). If you add up the
non-EE traffic this discussion has generated on EE, the claim that the
purpose of it is to keep the EE channel clean is a bit strange. This
discussion has probably created much more definitely non-EE traffic than
Russell has ever created. 

If all those who complain about the email traffic went news and read what
they want to read through gmane.org, for example, this all would be a
complete non-issue. I don't read posts that don't interest me, and I don't
even have to set up filters.
