I disagree.  Blocking spam isn't a matter of opinion, it should be one 
rule applied to all.  If we block (e.g.) Inprise from posting
commercial messages to the list, we should by the same token block GT
too.

However, I'd be glad to see a rule which permits GT to continue
sending commercial messages while blocking absolute lamer
organisations.  My suggestion is that we leave it to the judgement of
the people running the list... a bit of despotism is useful to cut
through red tape once in a while.
