I sure wouldn't hold my breath for five....but on the others, I think that
individual listowners should make up their mind, set a rule/standard, and
enforce it one way or another.  Of course if those rules can be enforced by
software, that just makes it easier for them.  It doesn't eliminate
bitching and moaning, however.
