    I am now filtering IRAQ traffic, which greatly increases the readability
    of the list, but I notice that many Iraq threads are still not properly
    labeled, including "The opportunity in the problem", "weapons of mass
    panic" (actually, I like the phrase "weapons of mass distraction" (not
    original)), "How's it all playing in France itself?", and "Why a new
    Resolution is NEEDED".

    Please label these threads appropriately!

    Thank you to everyone who has labeled existing threads appropriately...
    for obvious reasons I do not see these threads. (I will still receive
    messages with "IRAQ" in the subject line but "Eliezer" in the text, so I
    will catch any replies to this message as long as the quote is properly
    attributed.) However I note that over 50% of the remaining Extropians
    traffic is still unlabeled Iraq messages. If keyword subject labeling is
    to be a viable alternative to more forceful means of ensuring list
    de-Iraqification, then you must exhibit a greater degree of voluntary
    compliance with my inspections. If I am even the least bit unsatisfied I
    will appeal to the Extropian High Council to authorize the use of topic
    bans. Thank you.
