I put this dickhead into the kill-list of my email filter a loooooong
time ago. From the menu Edit>Message Filters, enter his details into the
Sender column and move his messages directly to the trash .... and then
chill out.

It's ironic that for someone whom all he has done is criticize the
posting techniques/manners of some listers, he has been by far the worst
offender of the very habits he criticizes ... responding on a point by
point, message by message basis, wasting bandwidth with bullshit and
personally raising the noise to signal ratio of the list ( it's high
enough already)

Besides ... fuck him.... he's a Pom <g>
