This usually comes up every couple of months, followed by a few responses of why munging is considered bad. http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html So I will post the url to save a few people the hassle, or those who are too lasy to search the archives. I have to agree 100% with Jon, if you read the mailing list rules you would of found that out. This whole call a vote is very Usenet thinking. It doesn't even work in Usenet, even if the group has a charter, just look at all the groups that have a charter and no one follows the rules. Of course this is a mailing list, that happens to be posted to Usenet, which is a difference. I am all for helping out the new users, but it must be said that a little research can go a long way.
