I shouldn't have to get the fucking spamfilter involved when we're
talking about a mailing list. Seriously, it takes the piss. What you
said about idiots reponding to idiots is a very good point however.

And the spamming isn't that bad, 3-4 filter rules is needed but that's
about it.

The problem, if any, isn't the trolling but the moronic replies from
people who should know better than responding to morons.

Hello? If someone writes something stupid/silly/moronic then
killfile/filter and/or ignore.
Don't respond to it, you'll only make it worse.

Or to quote ye olde proverb:
"Never argue with idiots, they'll just drag the discussion down to their
own level and beat you with experience."
