Can I call in dead?, part 2

I seem to have picked up a cold among other things. This is just a filler as I won't be doing much reading or updating until I feel a bit better, which, knowing the way my bod works may be several days.

Why are some people so strident?

I've just added a filter to my mail software to shunt messages from one poster on the TML to my "junk" folder. I'll still glance at them, but given that he's been doing nothing but decreasing the signal to noise ration of the list since he joined, I expect this to make my reading of the list far more pleasant.

I swear these people want to play word games more than discuss the list topic.
