Will someone please kill off this puerile, off-topic thread?

I woke up to 17 ruby-talk messages, 30% devoted to this topic. This
amounts to spam.

We are an open community...
And BTW 90% of the threads here do not interest me, well now that you
mention it, that is terrible, that is worse than spam, can someone
please kill them!
Thank you in advance

long for the endless immensity of the sea.

A decent mail reader limits the spam interaction. (which is a polite
way to say "fold it and get over it").

I enjoy side-band conversations, but if a person doesn't, it doesn't
take Samson to avoid the thread. Religious allegory, yep, one should
ban this mail as well.

Topicality has a purpose - to cultivate a crew of regular responders who can
provide and review the best answers.

Topicality is /not/ about helping said regulars wake up in the morning with no
feeling of dread that the forum will still be discussing some marginal topic.
Deceased equine flagellation also helps cultivate a crew of regulars...

Gmail has a 'mute' option, if that's any help :)

Robert:

1. Learn to operate your email client.
2. Thread your emails.
3. Ignore threads of no interest to you (which you're already doing, if
you think about it a bit).
4. Allow others to talk about what they wish. It's none of your concern.
