"But this mailing list is your private property, so it's up to you how you make up and selectively enforce your arbitrary rules."
Doug does share his private property with the rest of us, and his rules are not arbitrary, but enjoy our assent because they are generally fair. I enjoy Yoshie's posts, but Doug has a point about lengthy quotation.

Serious question.
18th and 19th century conceptions of property do not render information networks and flows intelligible.
