Adam -
We seem to have had a couple instances of `fetish mail' of late.
And the `my god is bigger than your god' stuff gets pretty tedious.
I would vote, if I had a vote, to block this stuff - if it were possible
to do so without having the cure be worse than the symptom.
The perl-dbi mailing list blocks posts from non-subscribers...
(www.fugue.com/dbi, if you're interested.)
This might prove more useful than making a human sift rubbish.
