Questions@ has some un- self- disciplined kids/ drunks/ trolls, who degrade this list's signal to noise ratio. They could be reduced by a combo. of eg: - forcible unsub, & black list, - block of anon. remailer domains - making this list "subscribtion required before posting". (which would make it harder for newbies fresh to FreeBSD, but we need some solution) I suggest others too should complain to <postmaster@freebsd.org> appending offenders bad postings, & let postmaster decide action. The only other option I can think of is to personaly extend my procmail filter on my own questions@ incoming stream, to delete all postings from listed individuals. Many others could do similar, but massive inefficiency, & newbies couldn't, & the noise on the raw unfiltered list & in web achives would damage FreeBSD.
