One of my first acts as Prez - I had a little talk with him. I gave him a
few links to some other lists that he could try out.

I seem to recall a couple years back someone came on the list - a real jerk
- with a real bad attitude and dissing people.  We drove him off somehow.
Did we pull his list access - ban him from the list?  I can't remember.
Anybody remember that incident?

I agree - some lists I tried this year were pretty unbelievable......

  I won't - this is certainly one of the more civilised lists. Signal to
  noise ratio is waaaaay above the average.
