Jay, I don't remember ever having seen you
this close to losing your temper. ;-)
You are respectful, indeed. I hope the
offending party takes this into account should wound-licking come back into
vogue.
In the meantime, I'd like to support
all sub related contributors, especially the ones who consistently remain
on topic.
If there's a need to go off-list, please ask.
I'd love to share my political views on Bill's "invention" but . . . well,
OFFLIST!!!

Malcontention
Things seem to have been quiet and peaceful here for a
while...not a lot of traffic but some good informational exchanges.
Granted we have had a spammer or two and the recent ROV thread, while not
always really PSUB material, has many worthwhile tidbits so we shouldn't
really grouse about that.
Then we come to the periodic riling up of the PSUBS
list. On most lists this gets started by a different individual each
time the disruption occurs and you can bear with it. On the other hand,
if a given individual does it often enough, you can either personally block
mail from that person (but replies get through) or if the reprobate continues
to cause issues, they are banned. This can be a loss for the whole list
as the banned or blocked individual may have sometime to offer worthwhile that
1% of the time that they are not an irritating, festering sore. Their
good gets lost in the deluge of aggravation that they case. It is a rare
time that a blocking or banning is necessary as the offending individual
usually gets the message that their particular ethos is not in the character
of the ebb and flow of a particular list...peer pressure is great! Or
they can get back on their lithium and once again can be a responsible member
of the list.
Respectfully,
