Angus & Maidenhair,
	Could we please try to keep this at least civil for the moment?

	Angus, if you want to block her stuff, you are encouraged to do so.  Unlike
many people, I even think it's appropriate to TELL people you are blocking them (since
otherwise they may not get the clue).  But I have to tell you that she's been posting from
multiple email addresses all along.  Just because -you- missed one may not be reason
enough to jump her shit. I don't expect you to know this, since you are filtering her (and
probably others as well), but things have been pretty quiet for several days now.  So
your message has the effect of looking like a knee-jerk response over nothing (which is,
the last time I checked, poor netiquette).

	Maidenhair, remember _think_ then post.  A general rule is that if he's really filtering
you, you are wasting your time.  If he's not really filtering you and you respond to him, you're
just going to encourage him.  And you see what I just said about a knee-jerk response?
Same thing.

	This is how -unpleasantness- starts, and I don't think that any of us wants that.
If nothing else, -unpleasantness- leads to more garbage messages that people just have to
delete.

(Don't make me have to do this job :)  )
