No Erik, I just happen to see your quotes in other members' posts.   Don't
worry, you haven't done anything different to change my opinion that your
posts are, on balance, not worth my time to read - but we've been through
that before

Ultimately, however, the efficacy of a killfile to avoid posts you don't
want to read is a direct function of the integration of those posts into
the rest of the List.   It is very easy to ignore someone who doesn't
generate much replies.  When a poster begins to direct the course of List
Discussion, and indeed dominate the List with such traffic as to begin to
crowd out other topics, then that poster becomes much more difficult to
ignore on an individual basis.    At that point, the Community has to
decide what kind of Community it wants to be, and what sort of Community is
in fact being built by the independent acions of its most prolific members.

Which still leaves the question as to why you find the US Constitution to
be morally binding when in fact you have never agreed to it....
