Hallo

I feel that ANY rule in ANY organization is wrong.

In the case of mailing lists or newsgroups if messages are off topic than
either the senders are not answered OR the recipients who do not agree move
away from that list or newsgroup. There no need to police and policing: they
should be self adjusting. History has proved time and time again that
centralized and fascist societies do not last long and do come to and end
(often abruptedly).
