I see two ways of dealing with the whole PR Action thing. 1. Rename the list from "IETF Discussion" to "IETF Humor." - or - 2. Let us not ban inane, circular, flame wars. Rather, let us set up mail filters to redirect posts to an "IETF Flame" list. Perhaps we can set up a Bayesian filter to automatically redirect such posts? Admittedly, I know I would train the filter to put this message (mine, not the thread) into the bucket, too.
