Re: Moderation: captainblake's blackberry

Since [email protected] doesn't show up on the list of folks
subscribed to this list, and since Yahoo has never been able to help with
this issue (and I did push them hard on it a few years ago), I've just tried
to "ban" the [email protected] email address.  I have no idea
if that will do anything for this problem, I suspect not.  I'm open to
suggestions for fixing it (though I have little time until the 2nd week in
June).
