There's a difference between purging dead email addresses that bounce, and impoverishing the list by pruning commenters. Lawrence is doing list maintenance.

I understand purging accounts that have email problems and are bouncing,
but purging lurkers makes the list less useful and interesting to those
of us who do post. Part of the reason for participating in a public
forum is to learn and understand, and to help others learn and
understand. People don't post for many reasons, but by simply
listening, they play an important role in the community. Small is less
interesting in an internet discussion group than this. Further, by
purging them, we lose the opportunity of ever hearing from them.
