Summary: you have to "qualify" - a simple request won't do it

> If Herr Uhrig has an enemies list, I demand inclusion.

	I do NOT have an enemies list (the term kill-file may be unfortunate
	but was not coined by me), only a SANITY-list (supposed to keep me
	sane);  it is an exclusive list and you cannot get on it by simply
	demanding it - your posted articles have to qualify you for it !

	many people have made friendly appeals to Matt, Bob, Mark, and ?
	to tone it down and reduce output - to no avail.
	I now practice (and suggest) ignoring all output from them.
	Is that taking too much "freedom of speech" for your taste?
	
	They get to "post all they want", I get to say "let's ignore them!"
	- who's polluting whose "air"??!!

	we all practice this technique every day we are just afraid to
	say so aloud to avoid "the bad press" generated by bozos who think
	they "defend the right of free speech" by questioning the right of
	someone saying "let's ignore this fellow, because all the follow-ups
	make matters even worse!"
