Indeed, and, if I remember correctly, the original founder became furious
and left because of such posts. I think most people have chosen the "jump
ship" option because this list has lost hundreds of members. Members who,
in my opinion, had a positive impact on the discussions happening on this
list.

I'll have to look into the filter, because I really do enjoy to read some
of Aaron's post, and he does seem like a nice guy, just a guy with
political Touerette's syndrome. What words should I filter on,
repub-lie-con or copo-rape-tion? :)
