i find the 'filter messages' to be among the most ridiculous posted to the
lug. like the 'i'm leaving' messages, they are veiled threats to the
unrepentant hordes who are promised instant and complete virtual
anihilation (the extremists call such filters 'kill files') lest they
'straighten up and fly right.'

why on earth should anyone care a fig about whoever lugger x might be
filtering? i for one welcome it: if nothing else, the fact that x is
filtering y means that there will be one less knee-jerk response to the
filtered post by some headstrong, intolerant list member.
