Ah, I wondered if I was the only one to receive that. He periodically sends me bizarre and unwanted communications. There was also the time he created a Fediverse account purely for the purposes of reporting every one of my own Fedi posts as abusive, which only led to the admins of his own instance banning him. I've told him several times not to contact me again yet he keeps doing so, with different addresses, which is unsurprising since his issues in this community began decades ago with an inability to accept a "no thank you" from anyone. > If he is contacting other members off-list, I recommend not engaging with > him.

Already done but I'm sure it won't be long before he switches domain name.
