That is a reasonable suggestion, but I'm sure you are aware that the
use of killfiles alone leaves many problems outstanding.

You can, but it would be a very misleading suggestion. The 450K certainly
doesn't equate to a total volume of cancelling. Many of the messages were
simply offering advice.

I believe that once a poster has violated the rights of readers of a
newsgroup to read messages in accordance with the parameters for that
group, and blatantly abuses clear guidelines and complaints, then simple,
reversible actions against their messages can be justified. I don't expect
you to agree, but I hope you can see it is a valid alternative view.

And remember each person has the opportunity to repost appropriately.

And I don't expect you to agree with me. However all the indications to
date are that, provided I continue to operate within the very tight
parameters I ahve already set myself, that I have majority support. I hope
that if this is not true, this discussion will reveal the true facts.
