Agreed as a possibility. There are plenty enough jokes about the idiot who doesn't understand the nature of newsgroups|maillists that someone could conceivably go out of their way to imitate such. > No comments, the best that can be done is ignoring it until it gets > canceled from the list.

Agreed, but the answer is `postmaster, abuse, and the list manager' in some order. > 2.

If that were the case I would expect him to send a single polite email to the list manager explaining the situation, not to mouth off at the whole list/s. The attitude does come into play here - his sucks, and is serving him no good except to raise a bit of bile here. > Neither of this is connected with people from this list, as far as I can > say.
