I have been considering maintaining and publishing
a blacklist data base for this newsgroup.
The blacklist data base would contain the names
of subscribers who post off-topic articles
to the newsgroup.
New subscribers and infrequent contributors
to the newsgroup would be advised
to consult the blacklist data base before responding
to articles posted in the newsgroup.
There would be, of course, no penalty imposed
upon subscribers who respond off-topic articles
except the penalty imposed by the blacklistee.
That is to say, the blacklist would be self enforcing.
