Isn't it obvious? All the activities you listed do not require
intelligence. Brightness -- of the monitor -- usually suffices.

Consider the multiple "unsubscribe" messages from people who are not
even able to read the trailing lines that Vadik inserts into each
posting, and that's *after* getting their unsubscribe requests back
from the list, with nothing but the word "unsubscribe" and the
instructions in the message body. Now *that* is amazing.

While I agree that the images were not appropriate, the one that Erez 
sent was funny (IMHO), and he says he didn't have a URL and didn't know
it was on /. (Frodo: where? If you have the URL handy, could you mail
me privately please?). Let's forgive him this last time - and a filter
might be a good idea indeed.

To unsubscribe, send mail to linux-il-request@linux.org.il with
the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command
echo unsubscribe | mail linux-il-request@linux.org.il
