Billy, we all know about MJB on this list.  I don't think anyone here 
pays much attention.  In fact, the only way I get his posts is if 
someone replies to him...I have my filters set so I don't see any 
messages coming from him.  Why waste my time?

In that spirit I encourage you and others to do the same, or to 
simply ignore him.  Once you get involved in replying, the end result 
is invariably something like the message below, totally off topic, 
airing of laundry in public, and of no interest to anyone on the 
list.  I understand that you feel it necessary to defend yourself 
against obvious attacks, but like I said, nobody pays much attention 
to what MJB has to say anyway.

No sense engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Cheers.
