Hi All,

The solution to block off all trolls is easy especially for system
administrators. Make posting to the mailing list only accessible to
members that are registered in a member list. Needless to state the
obvious, control membership. For instance, a member would require
sponsorship from existing members or from some other important
contributor in the project like jaromil.

The idea of having an open mailing list is clearly failing to give a
good signal to noise ratio which can be corrected. Make the resulting
mailing list publicly readable BUT do not make membership automatic.

Some may argue this is the strategy adopted by enemies of init
freedom, which may be correct. However, sometimes one has to adopt an
adversary's strategy if it proves to be the only possible of way
solution.
