a) What is "on-topic" is subjective. What I think may be relevant is much different than what you think should be. I can find some way to connect virtually any topic back to Linux.
b) We've had the ability to use /ignore in IRC for as long as I can remember, and if your mail client doesn't support automatic message rules (to delete messages from "problem posters"), then you need to upgrade.
If you put the censorship of an "open" user group into the hands of a few, you will hurt the user group overall. We aren't talking about source code here, we are talking about open discussion. Leave censorship in the hands of the individual users. If Joe Blow doesn't like reading John Doe's emails, he can set up a rule to delete them.
