This has the undersirable side effect that newcomers to the group will
not have the appropriate procmail filters, and will take existing
practice as an indication of how they are to behave.  Like all
solutions which depend on 'every man for himself'it has the tendancy
to rip society apart where only the strong and savvy win, and
everybody else wonders why their lot in life is so miserable.  So it
is very tempting, but not, I would say in our own best interests.
