No moderator wants to be forced to shut down a frequent and interesting contributor to a list. But if one particular contributor so overwhelms the list that others complain and head for the door, that is, indeed, a serious violation of Net etiquette. Personally, I enjoy Speranza's posts the way I enjoy a strong blue cheese. One or two bites a day is delightful, so I don't want to use a filter. But too much and a gag reflex sets in. Moderation is the key to pleasure. John -- John McCreery The Word Works, Ltd., Yokohama, JAPAN Tel. +81-45-314-9324 http://www.wordworks.jp/
