[luau] List Policy

[Joe Linux]

Basically my feeling is that each person should post in a manner which 
is comfortable to them.  If I don't want to read something I just delete 
it with my <Delete> key.  For example I delete all of my own posts. 
 Often I delete stuff on the intricacies of server set up or bulk email 
handling, as it's not something I'm into.  I guess I delete most of the 
threads related to the discussion of problems with RedHat as I don't use 
it.  Usually if I respond or post, it is a response to what someone has 
actually posted.  For example I responded to Warren when he stated that 
he is an expert at spam handling and has his machine finely tweaked to 
eliminate the problem.  I was somewhat curious why someone is so worried 
about alleged spam when from all outward appearances the person has that 
one aspect of their life very much under automated control.
