Why, of course, but here we go back to my fundamental idea that
moderating a mailing list, a forum, a debate may (should?) basically
mean dealing with the excess of OT.

In other terms, while some piece or another of, e.g., religious
propaganda or commercial information (or a criticism thereof) may
sometimes be relevant to the debate at hand, the typical single-issue
infiltrator is not there to participate to any debate, but just to
profit from any opportunity to post long preaches or rants or
perorations or advertisements that quickly exceed whatever may be of
interest to the other participants.
