May I suggest to all that dislike the quote of the day:

Set up a filter in your email looking at the Subject and discard all email
from DR-L that has the phrase "Quote of the Day".

Other than that one daily message and the heat it generates I'd almost
have to assume this list is "deader'n a doornail".
