[My reply] I won't put you on moderation. I will remove you from the list entirely if you don't drop this nonsense now. I am completely serious. If I read about this issue in a single message from you, personal or to the list, you're gone, history. And you won't be welcome back. Start your *own* list if you can't behave like a civilized person. I'm not willing to invest any more of my time and attention dealing with your immature and disruptive tactics. I've put up with your harassment, your illegal attempts to break into my servers, etc. No more. Nick Arnett -- I decided on January 18th to draw the line, after receiving the threats above. And those, most clearly, are threats. So, now it's all out in the open and I'm done discussing it.
