And as far as the majority of the people who've actually spoken up seem to have already stated, they've already added Brett to their filters, so they don't have to bother with him anymore. However, it appears that the situation has gotten so very bad that there are a number of others now complaining about him, and while they can filter out Brett himself, they can't filter out the complaints about him. Therefore, something needs to be done. The best thing would be for someone, somehow to convince Brett that he needs to make some changes in his life, so that he no longer causes these problems. But regardless, if Brett doesn't do something to solve this problem, it appears that others may be forced to solve it for him. That's the crux of this whole issue -- this is the "nasty, ugly, public warning" stage. If the problem doesn't get solved soon, we will likely proceed to the "amputate and get on with life" stage. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
