Keith,
I almost agree with you... Except here is the problem...
The IPoverIB(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing list has 17 request(s) waiting for your
consideration at:
https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/admindb/ipoverib
I'll go ahead and remove the 17 messages trying to sell sex, toner
cartridges, stuff in char sets I don't even know what they are...
No I don't want random people sending stuff to a low volume list ( a
couple messages a week is normal ) so I think asking people to subscribe
is a low overhead task... You don't even have to receive the mail
traffic.
It is also not in the communities interest to slog through 100's of
spams to find a usefull nugget of truth either.
Bill

Join the list already. How hard is that for a so-called mail guru?
there are valid reasons to post to a list when you're not subscribed, or
from a different address from the one you use for your subscription.
and it's not in the community's interest to ignore useful input.
