Like Bill Hicks says, I think I see a way outta this!

Here's what you do: reply to the mail you agree with but cut out the text. Then at the start of the subject line, type GPL2 to stand for "I send groovy peace & love to..." and send.

EG

GPL2 Tim Re: virus: Re: META: topical rules

Anyone who doesn't want these messages can set up a filter for any subjects beginning with GPL2, deleting them or sending them to a special Groovy Peace & Love folder.

What could go wrong? [Apart from the email server crumpling to its fucking knees, download times quintupling and evryone leaving the group.]
