The suggestion was not to run people away from the list but to limit the
discussions if possible to the subject.
I get mail from several lists (am I the only one?) and it's really a
pain to have to delete every day tons of stuff that *I know* is totally
irrelevant to my reason for being on that particular list, imagine
having to actually read it, that would take my entire day.
As to the freedom lost, just think of the recently proposed (if not
already approved) legislation and compare.
