there's a very good <BR>reason, banning someone from the list is a pretty
puerile thing to do and I <BR>don't want to sink to his level. <BR><BR>If he
believes that a voluntary mailing list is the same as a premium rate <BR>tech
support phone number, maybe he might like to send me $20,000 per year, <BR>at
which point he can have my phone number. Pay me (and other regular
<BR>contributors on the list) a large enough sum of money and I'm sure we
could <BR>provide the level of support he seems to want. At some point he will
come <BR>to realise that expecting any more than you pay for involves being
patient, <BR>tolerant and polite. Most people realise this eventually.
