If OSI really wants to become relevant again, maybe step 1 would be
'make license-discuss useful for/usable by those who don't have
procmail installed.' If OSI is happy to have license-discuss be what
one friend called a 'cesspool', then I agree wholeheartedly that
passing around procmail recipes is a great way to do it.

Luis (using procmail to solve the trolls is like saying "I don't care
about global warming, I have air-conditioning!" or "I don't care about
corruption, I'm getting a cut!")
