How practical would this possible solution be:
Send a note to majordomo at ansteorra.org that says
"who elfsea". You'll get back very quickly a list
of all the addresses on the Elfsea List. Then you
could de-filter those hotmail addresses on the
list, and these "bleep you very much" messages
would stop being posted to the list.

Arabella's internet provider, then I suppose she could always send the post to
the Elfsea list and then I could forward it automatically to you without all the
