    I'm against it.

    There are lots of things I find offensive, and things I'm not interested in
    reading. Normally I'm downloading the list by pocketmail and paying 90
    cents a minute roaming on a bag phone from the boat. So I find long posts
    that don't trim their quotes, and html posts offensive. If I'm not
    interested in reading a topic I just delete it or don't download it. If
    I'm not interesting in seeing what someone specific has to say, I filter
    them. I suggest you do the same.

    I don't think you or anyone else should be trying to do the list owner's
    job. That's difficult enough at best without a lot of busybodies
    micromanaging things.
