I agree.  The noise on this mailing list is making my eyes bleed when I want
to know what is going on with Tor.
To be honest, I haven't read much of the mailing list since for the last
couple weeks because of all the noise.
We I open an e-mail from the Tor mailing list, I expect it to be about Tor
or Tor related technologies, not 9/11 conspiracies.

I say ask them politely to stop, if not, kick'em off.
