Nicky's  suggestion isn't as "imaginative" as you seem to suggest: not
opening  messages from a sender whose messages you do not care to
read or marking  someone's mesasages as "SPAM" so that they do not fill
your "inbox" are  legitimate and normal ways which Internet subscribers
use to filter their  incoming mail.  Both of these methods have long
been practised by some  subscribers to this list.
It is one's own decission and right to do whatever he/she wants to do with  
his/her post received. Biut it is something else and no longer private matter 
if  someone suggests publicly discriminating aginst. Such an atitute requires 
public  response.



This is not a solution for myself, though, as I -- wearing  my
administrative hat -- have to follow the discussions and intevene
as  moderator where necessary.  I normally use this address when so
doing  so as to avoid confusion.

As for your wish to see the conflict solved,  the answer is very
simple: DON'T FLAME!  This is not the optimal  answer, however:
public apologies to the person who has been flamed and to  the list
would be a much better and just solution.
You say here to me in plural "DON'T FLAME". Do you mean I have flamed  anyone 
in the list or why are you using the plural imperative form.



In solidarity, Jerry
