And "please don't" doesn't scale as well as you'd like.

Well, the list is *generally* not moderated for reasons that are discussed
in depth on the wiki, and we'd need a dozen moderators to get good coverage
if we did...

In the long run, I think it's going to remain a race between in-situ
moderation, and people deciding they can't use it the way they'd like.

Luckily, the group most likely to bail are also the group most likely
to be able to figure out how to procmail the incoming list before it
hits their phone.
