For example? Did you read my initial message? I'll summarize:

I propose to close the lists.

Those who disagree please propose a *better* solution.


What I propose would be simple, effective, it would only require a
small amount of time from posters (the time required to subscribe to
the white list, which has to be done only once), and it would be easy
to implement (since the white list already exists).
