In the 20 years I've been using PG, I've not noted any bizarre "list 
speech" except this discussion that suggests others should monitor 
people's behavior wherever they are, and report any "infraction" to PG, 
so PG can boot them.  I'm with those who think that idea is 
diametrically opposed to open source's freedom.  What next, monitor what 
apps people are using their DB for and decide if the "community" 
approves of its character or not?
