It would be egocentric to say that I support Mark's digests. However, I still
think that many are missing the /options/ it brings about. Personally, I
only download message headers.

While UseNet is /not/ moderated (not the C.O.L.A. subset of it anyway), this
got me thinking. What if a COLA gateway was created, which dropped every
troll post, including nyms (readers are permitted to flag messages as spam).
Some time ago, over in the newreaders NG, someone introduced to us a Web
interface that facilitates collaborates filering (for SPAM, not trolls).
This got me thinking about having a repository of filtering information,
which could be access from any native mail reader and be used for filtering
(a bit like spamcop.net or Autommatic Akismet for blogs/CMS's).
Then again, we have a Wiki which I suppose could help people set up some
killfiles. Roy C's stats help as well.

Yes, enjoy the trip. *smile*
