As far as I can tell, you are requesting that we not do anything dumb,
such as, for example, blocking messages which are not spam and which
do not violate the documented mailing list guidelines. That is a
reasonable request. I promise we won't do anything dumb.

I know you are just trying to be really precise about what is
happening, but, honestly, don't worry: we're free software volunteers
just like you. We're on your side. We won't do anything dumb.
