+1 I also had disagreements with DAJ in the past and engaged in flamewars with him. But I do not agree with moderating here. As long as people address him and reply him, he has a right to respond to that. As long as people are engaging with him, he has every right to respond. If you don't want to see more mails, don't address him. If other members address him, that means they want a response and you cannot put DAJ under moderation, unless you put all members addressing him aslo under moderation. I don't agree with everything he says, but I stand with for his right to speak up, his position when people ask him. - Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
