Many thanks.
Clearly this is an important list with many resourceful people and it
appears that there are some good folk who would be prepared to help out
with moderation if necessary to help maintain it. Is there a point that
they should contact/volunteer?

Wanted to let you all know that the account in question is now blocked
from the list. I should point out a couple things:
1. I'm not the moderator, I just help out with registering new users,
as many of you already know. By nature of that role I can also help
folks out by fiddling with their accounts. While I may be overstepping
my role, it was obvious to me that this cup of sewage was spoiling our
barrel of wine.
2. I went through the history of postings from when the account was
added in 2011 and the screeds of late do not seem to be of the same
person. I suspect the account somehow got hacked and the new owner
decided to have some 'fun' by trolling our list. The original poster
was usually on-topic up through December of last year and then went
silent. Suddenly he pops up on the list with 27 posts in two days of a
most unpleasant nature.
3. I'm not familiar enough with how this system works to know if we
can delete the messages. I'll poke around and find out. That won't
help your inbox but it might be some solace to the real owner of the
account whose name is now associated with the recent unpleasantness.
Sorry for not pulling the plug sooner. I'm not on my email as often on
weekends.
