Yes, very good point, clearly some changes in the overall structure are in
order to reflect the change in list policy. As always we can´t change just
one element without thinking about how it relates to the rest.

However, what I suspect is happening is that some people are simply
subscribed so they can promote on this list and never read the content. This
means they would never have read the original notes on the change. In those
cases (asuming they exist) I have no problem with banning exactly because of
Kim´s earlier notes about some actions "adding to" the list and others
"taking from". I think that´s a good rule of thumb and I think those people
are just taking from the list. Had that ballance actually worked I would´ve
been fine with the old setup; if you get -say- a mail that gets you thinking
a week from some person then you are probably welcoming a chance to see him
or download/buy his music to see how his thoughts influence his work.

It´s sad that it has to be like this, but I fully agree with the cource
chosen, even if -as you point out- some details need to be taken care of.

Yours,
Kas.
