i have run internet mailing lists since about 1985. when the first C/R
systems showed up a few years ago, i arrived at simple conclusion
very quickly.
anybody who installs a C/R system and doesn't whitelist the mailing lists
they subscribe to doesn't deserve to receive those mailing lists.
i remove from my lists anyone who does this. nobody has complained
yet.
i'd strongly urge that the IETF adapt a similar policy. it's much less
stressful for all concerned.
