I totally agree on this. Using the "Delete" button (and ofcourse Karl
asking us to 'Just do it and shut up '") is not a solution.

Actually Karl's off-context messages reminds me of a one "Ilias
Lazardis"[1]. Now, Karl is definitely not clogging up the lists like
Ilias had done (on a few Java IDE lists that I was a part of), but none
the less, it is getting annoying :-)

Thankfully the other lists could be moderated and thus the Ilias's
evaluations moved onto other products.
