(sorry, couldn't resist :) I have that guy on my filter list as well. However, when people reply, those messages are still received. (I'm not filtering on Bipin anywhere in the message since I don't want to risk false positives..... perhaps I should try it for a while). Luckily there is the option to filter a certain subject temporarily. And I guess that means I won't see my reply either...lol...
