I can't help you with your wish. You can help with mine. Do you think
I am unreasonable in what I wish for?

Sure, the question is how you are going to use it. If we all follow
your strategy, sense of humour or not, the net result will be a lot
of people feeling righteous about their contributions to the list all
expecting the others to curb their behaviour first and resulting in
a big mess.

Sure you can say your piece when you notice there is still a substantial
respons to Nikos and that you don't feel the need to keep quiet as long
as that is going on. But if you think that a single word from anyone
to Nikos is enough to make you feel righteous about responding, then
your behaviour becomes part of the problem.
