I am a member on a lot of lists and newsgroups, and imho the best
solution for these kinda ppl who are repeat offenders.. and ppl who hav been
told abt their offences repeatedly shud hav some sense.. If the person is a
11 year old kid, then i feel that he shud hav some sense. I think that any 5
year old kid starts behaving if u tell them
Personally i hav had enough of this muskan problem, and he is now in my
block list...

but killfiles operate after u hav downloaded the mails.. and not b4 u
download them, as i always direct my killfile mail to trash so that i never
miss anything!

i hav tried it a lot, but this person has really got me bugged this time..
most problems go away, but this is a problem that has been here for a long
time, and now is the time to get rid of it! And i think that at least on
this list, if we ban muskan there wud only be a sense of relief.. and no bad
feelings. It is ok if some1 slips sometimes, but a person behaving like a
spoilt 11 year old for months is not a good thing...

I know.. i also second this proposal.. though i hav seen that a lot of ppl
quote the whole mail when replying.. and when u hav this going on for a few
mails things do get bad :(
