I actually tend to agree, 99% of the time this list is excellent, and the
other 1% happens when the dragoonkey idiot starts posting to the list.  It
would be easy enough to filter out his posts, but that wouldn't help get rid
of the meta-discussion (which I, sadly, am now adding to) that crops up
every time he posts.

Really, he has proven himself so clue-resistant despite lots of patient
attempts to educate him about mailling-list manners that the only reasonable
thing left to do is ban him from the list, but apparently whoever has the
power to do that isn't willing to exercise it.  I know for my own part I'm
gonna be unsubscribing from the list soon if he isn't removed.
