        Ken, they have a certain amount of dificulty with banning people who use
web-mail type accounts.  There's nothing stopping a person from simply
applying for a new web-mail account under a different name, and
re-subscribing to the list. Many of the webmail services require NO proof
of identity, and have had this problem crop up with others. Folks can
simply assume any email identity they like.

        As it currently stands (and I could very likely be mistaken, please
correct me if I'm wrong about this, WW), the only sure way to cut this
person off from the list is to take the IP number of the site he's
originating from (which, fortunately, Hotmail DOES stamp onto the mail; in
the case of Gubby it's Originating-IP: [24.112.85.212]) and ban the entire
site.

...etc...

Well, amis, I'd say the Gubster is one happy troll right now, what with everybody
lavishing so much attention on him. Gee, we have his IP now. Hey, GUB, any other
vitals? Are you cute? Is this an evil persona? Are you really Gubbert, evil ML
subscriber?

Lastly, I offer this poem by Zen poet Han-shan:

A certain scholar named Mr. Wang was laughing at my poems for being so clumsy.
"Don't you know you can't have two accents here?
And this line has too many beats.
You don't seem to undertand meter at all
 to toss in any word that comes to mind!"
I laugh too, Mr. Wang, when *you* make a poem,
like a blind man trying to sing of the sun.
