If everyone has his own, unique preferences with respect to what discussions and posts he'd like to see on the mailing list, and if everyone expects all other members of the list to censor their posts _at the source_ in order to match his preferences, how does anything get posted at all, given that no two people have the same preferences, and that anything censored at the source for one person is censored for all recipients? In practice, it is best to filter at the destination, not at the source. In fact, in most cases, it is the only possible option. That's what I do. It works well. -- Anthony
