I don't think you can stop any discussion on the list.

Wrong for two reasons. a) Not everybody is using flat screens. b) Even
flat screens need more power while they are on. You can use a screen
saver to shut down the monitor (CRT or flat screen) via DPMS to save
energy. Of course screen savers which display some fast moving graphics
don't save energy but cost extra energy.

Spam would be unsolicited commercial mail and this is neither unsolicited
nor commercial. After all you signed up for this high volume list.
