I figgered that's what he was probably saying.

If you think that's what he meant, or if that /was/ what he meant, it is
no wonder that I could not imagine what he was saying.  He wasn't
speaking a language I can understand.

I can't even imagine it when you are saying it more clearly or rather
/distinctly/, rather than clearly.  Because it isn't clear even when you
say it distinctly.

That is not just a dumb idea, it is an idea which has no foundation
whatsoever in logic or mechanics, making it a ridiculous idea, actually
not an idea at all.

In the first place, how would you blocklist a domainname?  That is, how
would you go about doing that?  Wbat blocklist?  Almost nothing blocks
on domainnaame even as the *source*, and nothing whatsoever, with the
possible exception of some daft end user, blocks their email based on
the From.

I see.  First he speaks in inanities, then he compounds the inanity with
facetiousness.  I think I would have been better of without having it
translated for me.  Thanks.
