Great, thanks.

I just can't be bothered with non-trimming top posters.  I've been around
too long to have that argument.  Just when I think that argument has died it
springs up...and in a place like this, no less...where I would suspect a
more savvy group of users.

It appears that it's just a select few that are stubborn, but a single
rotten apple can ruin a bunch, as the old saying goes.

I'd love to be active in the Ubuntu community, especially locally.  But, if
the first thing I see when joining a mailing list is some top poster saying
"Me too!" with nothing trimmed, it's disheartening.

Can we vote or something please?  I'm too old and crusty to agree not to
spam filter top posters.
