Yes, i would certainly support that (except for the 'outmoded').  And i 
am also perfectly willing to accept that my reactions here are not 
always ideal in that regard.

From my point of view the primary reason for a frequently hostile tone 
on this list is that the import guidelines require importers to discuss 
their plans here even if they would prefer not to.  I am not saying 
Ilya's post here falls under this category but this definitely is a 
common situation and not a good basis for a friendly and productive 
coversation.

In other words: I have for quite some time contemplated the thought that 
i would probably like to unsubscribe from this mailing list as the 
place where people post their import plans because they have to but 
keep subscribed to the place where people can seek advise on their 
import plans freely.  Even if this would mean actively ignoring bad 
import plans i think in sum this would work better because i - and 
others - could concentrate advise on cases where it is appreciated and 
used.
