I normally refrain from "me too" responses to mail list postings, but I 
find myself agreeing with Rob's sentiments.  These postings of Karl's are 
an example of religious zeolotry that grates on my nerves.  Never in the 8 
years of using Internet services have I kill-filed anyone.  And I am 
seriously considering this.  Which truly would be a shame as Karl is 
obviously a sharp guy and does contribute many good things to the PLUG 
community.
