They were clearly annoying.  I suppose it could have been more objective
if all the contributors to plug were rated on a scale of 1..5 of how
annoying they are.  Then if a person's level of annoying rises above,
say, 4.5, then they're warned.  Over a period of, say, a month, their
annoying level is tracked and if it drops below 4.5, the clock is 
reset.  If it stays above 4.5, then they are given a second warning.
If at the end of another month, their annoying level hasn't dropped
below 4.5, they are unsubscribed.

I don't see any reason we couldn't use spamassassin/razor to automate
it, either. [grin]
