I'm not sure what you're talking about. The suggestion was made of
filtering out (at the list manager level) any messages that have a
duplicate, non-RE: subject line. I pointed out that this wasn't viable
because some mailers don't always add the "RE:"; this would result in
responses being filtered out.
Also, as I think on it further, this is also a bad idea for other reasons.
What if a message is further information? How long should the ban last
for? And so on.
