Oh, that's definite and for sure. I unsubscribed from the list some
time ago, and resubscribed with a good old gmail account (thank you
google), which means that this moronic run against FD was something I
could just ignore (except for the work of deleting them). I received
an email from FD about "Post by non-member to a members-only list" and
suggesting I either wait patiently for moderator approval, or log on
and kill it. I was happy to do so (although I'm very sorry for John,
who must be drowning in that crap).

I still do. Keep the faith, John.
