But is it?
And what happens if someone does not? I and others get to
spend our time sifting through the garbage to get what we subscribed
to the list for. Free speech at our expense.

The argument about the delete key is the same argument used
years back about spam. Spam is currently up to about 80-90% of all
E-mail. I think that the delete and move on approach does not work.
I know how to use filters, but tell me: how would you set up a
filter for "Swiss Guy about Guns" before seeing it for the first
time? Or do you mean that I should filter out by sender? If it gets
that bad in FxoProTech, then [OT] has failed. It appears to be in
danger right now. The recent comment about brownshirts should be a
warning to you that thing are getting out of hand.
Sincerely,
