The worst thing is that it overshadows many other threads, and it eats a
lot of the available time of those list members (like myself) that have
decided not to filter this user. I would like to spend the time on the
list on more rewarding help seekers but alas ...

Also, these posts sometimes simply provoke harsh words. I should know
better and just shut up, but when I read stuff like "i never got any
help" when I have personally spent easily an hour or more in total on
this person, and know that lots of others did the same, it sometimes
just flips a switch in my head. Must ... resist.
