My suggestion is, you lift the ban. It just doesn't sound right.
It is censorship. We do tolerate all kinds of trolls who quote
a lengthy letter for no reason other than to approve of its content,
so what's so disruptive in Luke's letter?
I personally tried to read Luke's letter but gave up on issues
of style, terseness and casing. I'd rather Luke had contributed
some new code instead. But banning him is not right.
As another suggestion, why don't you create a separate samba
mail list "samba-politics" and advise a contributor who doesn't
stick to samba-user problems that he/she/it is off-topic?
I don't have a problem to skip a posting I'm not interested in.
I do have a problem, if someone does it for me.
Cheers
Dragan
