I think Bill Robb's post pretty well nails the situation. The question is what, if anything, should be done with JCO. I'm not really in favor of banning individuals from this group (heck, I may be next - I can sometimes be annoying or a PITA - my wife used to call me Shel Bellicose and even went so far as to get me a license plate frame that had "Born to Annoy" embossed on it), as quite a few of us at one time or another have gone a little (or a lot) overboard. However, I don't think anyone has behaved so badly with such consistency over so long a period of time.
Of course, it really comes down to what Doug wants to do. Let's not get the list population in an uproar, or become divisive about this. Doug, where do you stand on this matter?
