Everyone, Without giving any opinion on the free speech issue, I would like to add that the few minutes I spent learning the filtering mechanisms on my email client (Outlook in this case) has paid dividends - I can't help with ERA requests, so I have filtered these out, and I had completely forgotten about Mr Kent until the recent discussion. All my listserv messages go straight into their own folder, and irrelevant ones are deleted automatically. It's not a "total" solution, but it does help a great deal. I review the filters I have set up on a semi-regular basis, to make sure that nothing vital is slipping through the net.
