Perhaps a negative assertion would better catch the breadth of 
nonsense that some feel entitle to post to this list:

   # perhaps needs seasoning
   $worth_our_time = join( '|',
     qw/
       linux gnu unix computing programming open-source
       beer hardware clinics scripting web
     /
   );
   delete() unless $posting =~ /\b(?:$worth_our_time)\b/i;
