Bernie,

The simple fact is people are either leaving or seriously considering
leaving the list because there doesn't seem to be any way to keep obscene
jerks from posting here ; this would seem to me to be a valid reason to
change the list.  The change proposed isn't simply because of the posts
themselves, but because they drive people away.  While your advice to ignore
the obscene posts is basically good, that's not good enough for everyone.
