If this list is starting autoreplying I will quit it immediatly, trafic is
(not counting repeated spam) high enough as it is.

IMHO the stupidest idea I've read till now, split the list in a 'dummies'
and a 'BOFH' version but dont start disciminating through automated
ballotage. The split is IMHO long overdue anyway, half of what I read is
giberish to me anyway (yup put me in with the 'dummies') and resigning the
list because of this has come to mind several times.
