to all you guys who want karl's comments somewhere else.. why don't you offer to set up a blog for him, if you feel that might be a good solution for him..
personally.. i have no issue with deleting emails i don't need/have a use for...
or perhaps you can come up with some kind of voting mechanism that's tied to the email list.... so if a thread/user is not adhering to what the list believes should be 'good' behavior.. the voting mechanism could minimize the posts..
peace..
or, simply use the delete/filters!

I totally agree on this. Using the "Delete" button (and ofcourse Karl
asking us to 'Just do it and shut up '") is not a solution.
Actually Karl's off-context messages reminds me of a one "Ilias
Lazardis"[1]. Now, Karl is definitely not clogging up the lists like
Ilias had done (on a few Java IDE lists that I was a part of), but none
the less, it is getting annoying :-)
Thankfully the other lists could be moderated and thus the Ilias's
evaluations moved onto other products.
