Now what a silly discussion for otherwise intelligent people to engage in. First, it accomplishes nothing by blocking an address because anyone who wants to read the postings can simply resubscribe using the same name via any of the thousands of free email sites on the Internet. A list manager would have no way of knowing if a particular person is really gone or is continuing to receive and post information under another email account and for this reason it is a waste of time to install a filter on an old email address for your personal account! Additionally, it is not even necessary to subscribe to read what is being said on a particular list because all of the messages are available to read via the rootsweb archive. Lastly, and most importantly, if you do ever actually upset a user by pretending that a listmanager is an all powerful god the end user has access to the direct email address for all of the "vocal" subscribers to a list by simply going to the archive and copying them down and building his/her own mailing list that bypasses the rootsweb completely. It is really a shame that otherwise non-technical people are on this list displaying how little they actually know about how Internet technology works. Rootsweb: the place where lots of lights are always on but hardly anyone at all is ever home. Have a super day!
