Over at the WTA there's a wta-politics@, and a rather firm policy to move
polarizing, unconstructive, toxic, moronic drivel there. And to KEEP IT

extropy-politics@, and list snipers to enforce thread outsorcing, to spell it

Which effectively means this list is dead, on the long run. 

It's on life support right now, but the decline has been so slow and steady
that you all think this is normal. This how lists ought to be, right?
