My apologies; I'm well aware of both your contributions and your stance on the subject -- it's just that you haven't been using that address to post to this list. I haven't actually implemented any such block, because it's easier and safer for me to just delete posts from known trolls than it would be to engage in a fingers-in-the-ears exercise for a whole domain (say, in case you did post from that address). I am *hugely* disappointed by the current state of affairs, though, because I learned to value freedom from RMS' writings, and now I find that he only cares about freedom for "technical behavior", and all other aspects of the system can take care of themselves. -- Stephen Ryan Debian Linux 3.0 Technology Coordinator Center for Educational Outcomes at Dartmouth College
