If there were a simple way for a reader to report bloviation to the mailing list system, then it could perform better actions (“1799 readers appear to believe your last three messages did not contribute to progress, do you maybe want to slow down a bit?”…). (And here we enter the whole area of proper CSCW vs. mailing lists… I hope not.) Grüße, Carsten
