Actually, someone contacted Rob and he removed me from his block list and
sent me a message regarding his request.

Thanks to whomever did that (or maybe he just read the archives? not
certain).

I don't think willful ignorance is something that should be respected.
It's a bit like respecting the President's right to ignore scientific
counsel.

Um, I think plugging your ears and shaking your head whilst others try to
talk to you is childish behavior.  A block on a particular address is
analogous.

I don't know why I didn't just send him a message from a different
address, though.  He certainly doesn't have all of my domains blocked.
