This is not about *someone* being taken down, but about a list being
taken down, not fysically but quality-wise. How many unsubscribing
members do you need?

As a wise man once said:
"The freedom of speech doesn't mean we have to listen to crap, nor
enforce its distribution."
If you want to discuss everything *but* Leica, then subscribe to
Photoforum or any other generic photo list, or try to find an even
lower S/N ratio and less respect for each other in a newsgroup. But
don't try to transform this list in one of those damned.
