I say:
You betcha!  Far from being "the most intellectual list on the internet" this
list is like any other coffee house (note the TRP thematic reference)
conversation -
And like any other coffee house conversation there are certain people one
learns to ignore - AND like any coffee house there are some buffoons who
refuse to be ignored

I've noticed a flaw since I've been using filters to make my mail box an
infamous-former-classmate
free zone - I still get some of the trivialities when they are copied into
other postings - Alas, it's
not a perfect world - Anyway Greg, I'll work on putting you in my filter
