Well, I actually wrote Stu's postmaster and asked him/her (politely) to fix the problem and said what I would do if he/she didn't. I expressed a desire not to adversely affect other users and asked for cooperation. I don't think that way of dealing with the problem is excessively hostile. PS: No reply yet.
