Not responding to Anthony will give him what he wants. It will pollute the -advocacy archives with his anti-FreeBSD propaganda, such that anyone searching them will find his posts to be (apparently, due to his header-munging practices) the start of a thread which tells people to not use FreeBSD on the desktop, even if it's appropriate for them. Unless his posting to the list is barred, or the archive records of his further posting in violation of this request are expunged, he wins. In addition, Anthony has also stated his practice of retyping the list name over top of the normal reply address, which is how he has several times ended up posting portions of private email to the mailing list. Given this practice, all attempts to redirect the discussion to -chat or another list will fail, since he will merely type in "advocacy@freebsd.org", and continue the post. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
