Hi all, Original message:
I have found that blocking sender really helps.
<smiling> It may help in the short term, but it will not solve the root of the problem. This, IMO, is one of the very good reasons why we need an active listowner on this list. We need someone who not only can take care of the logistics of the task, but someone who is willing to step in and moderate when it seems necessary, someone to whom one can forward a troubling post and say, "Yo, what about this one? Can you take care of this?" I don't mean that we need a heavy-handed listowner, just someone who can gently remind old-hands, mentor newbies and generally stand in the gateway. As I have said before, and I think our libertarian Roger will agree, I think we police ourselves pretty well, but since this is a technical list, it may be worth taking time and forethought to ask yourself, does this need to be posted? Can I say this privately? Is my post just bringing coals to New Castle?
