Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 03 Jan 1996 20:05:36 -0500 From: Robert Withrow Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I don't mind the occational troll, but I would *love* to see the hacker's list adopt the policy of immediatly deleting from the list anyone who responds to obvious trolls, like the recent ``spunky'' trash. However, this would have the effect of deleting some core team members, and some longtime list members. I havn't made up my mind whether that would be a good or bad thing. ;-) Seriously, though, if the ``good'' people would wise-up and ignore trolls, the trollers will go back to the alt.x groups, where they belong, and we can all go back to reading long ``Terriloquies'', which is, after all, why we subscribe to this list. Right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
