Then I suggest that Ross not remove Dimitri from his private
e-mail correspondence. On this list, however, Dimitri was NOT
friendly NOR helpful.
Wha do Ross' or anyone else's private interactions have to do
with the decisions of those who pay for this list's existance?

Someone (Gilmore?) mentioned new subscribers being a problem, not knowing how to filter and so on. Would periodic postings for new subscribers, in addition to the initial welcome message, be a possible solve for this? Please don't curse me for this next idea, as I'm not really familiar with what goes on on a mail server: How about if everyone could send to the list with the subject line containing in [] brackets one of several strings from a list maintained by the server, examples being [NOISE], [RANT], [CRYPTO], [NEWS] etc., and for postings without one of the selections, the line could default to [NOISE] or whatever. I don't mean to propose anything heavy-handed, but there ought to be a way to apply a *little* more technology to get a *little* cleaner list, without impeding the "lower end" of the signal. Unless, of course, there are other technical or personal reasons for blocking the "Doctor" that I'm not aware of.
