Hi. :) This might work to a degree except that I would probably end up having to review a majority of the posts anyway. Thus I might as well keep it simple and stay on full moderation for awhile. Unfortunatly, they have moved on to personally harassing not only me individually/directly they are also harassing other subscribers of my lists. They aren't able to get the subscriber list but they do contact those that reveal their presence by posting to the list. This started about the 1st of December and to date I have logged over 40 email addresses for this particular jerk. She's like a piece of rotten gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe that I cannot get rid of. For those that are interested in who this person is, you can read all about her in the Troll FAQ located at: http://digital.net/~gandalf/trollfaq.html An excerpt: Then there are real winners who have a long standing history of harassment and trolling (usually nominated for KOTM (Kook Of The Month)) like Boursey, Grubor (multiple accounts / personalities), [log in to unmask] (Archimedes Plutonium) or White Lotus (as profiled in the magazine CYBERSANGHA). They usually have a World Wide Web page devoted to them somewhere. WL (for example) has multiple accounts like Ari Lindemann, Dave Lindemann, Terry Fifer, SABSA, [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask]), [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], gurubust*@aol.com, [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask]), WL's pattern seems to be to harass entire NGs as well as individuals. Her troll eruptions tend to take place at the height of controversies. Her latest trolls are apparently the result both of Kathy's making public WL's harassing email, and also of WL's being nominated for KotM. White Lotus/True Lotus' web page is <http://www.eskimo.com/~tlotus>. You can find a very limited synopsis on WL at the KotM web page: <http://www.wetware.com/mlegare/kotm> Anyway, thanks for the ideas. This too shall pass.
