Huge +1 on this. I find the Kiev spam on this list extremely annoying.

It seems like the rule against delving into politics is completely counter-productive because so many e-mails and responses are spent explaining it to new people. Ideally once we realized something is a political hot-button that we're going to get a lot of e-mail about, we'd put it into some automated or semi-automated holding queue where the e-mail is held and the user gets an automated response pointing at the relevant entry in the FAQ.

Best,
Paul

I sent a note privately to Nadia Kobyliak about this.

Should I ask the tz mailing list moderators (who are not me) to filter out routine duplicate requests such as this one? At some point the duplicates start to drown out the more-useful email.
