I don't know about Patrick, but personally, I waste much more (PAID per MINUTE!) bandwidth and reading time on broken threads than because of spam. DAILY, and for the very same reasons that Patrick explained! Spam is easily stoppable with the right setup, info hidden by broken threads (=human stupidity/ignorance/carelessness/whatever) can be stopped (even theoretically) only explaining why it is bad. Making helpful information easily reachable, ie keeping threads in alignment, should be the very *first* effort, if not the main purpose, of any support list. Of course, this is the last list message on this issue by me (until someone screws it up again :-) ).
