It's not a question of whether Fleming's opinions were popular - it's just that they
were wildly irrelevant to the work of this list. Having read many of his postings, I
can only conclude that either (a) he was deliberately flame-baiting (and often
successfully) or (b) his clue meter for "playing well with others" has actually bent
the bottom pin and lodged itself in negative territory.
FWIW, I concur with Harald's decision to employ this extreme sanction. Knowing
Harald, I am confident it was only after much careful consideration, and after many
efforts to resolve the issue in other ways, that he did so. -- Ian

I guess those of us who might be interested in hearing all opinions--and not
just those that agree with your own--are out of luck, eh? I can decide for
myself which messages I do or do not wish to read; I don't need your help.
