Firstly, I'd like to know who the Administrator / Moderator of Lis-Link is, since they have yet to join in this debate?
Whilst he sends bulk messages, and yes this is an issue as per my first post, it would appear that everyone has side-stepped my serious concern of receiving hate mail in direct response to my earlier posting to the list. This surely needs to be investigated as a disciplinary matter on behalf of the list?
If Jacky Xu is registered on Lis-Link then I strongly recommend s/he be barred from the list; If s/he is not, then I would suspect that McKiernan 'arranged' for me to receive the hate mail, and is behind it.
Apologies for appearing so frank, but should anyone need proof, I can forward the email (although be prepared, it is shocking). I have only kept it for the purposes of reporting, and would like this matter resolved asap.
Personally, I have blocked the email addresses from my account, and will be reporting the abuse to google gmail. However, right now he is probably reading this debate about himself, and I guess there's nothing satopping him creating other email addresses...

The number of complaints is probably "just a drop in the ocean" because I, and many other people I know, have set up filters to delete Gerry's messages automatically. Thus a large proportion of the list never see his postings. But filters might not be an option for those using web-based interfaces and certainly won't work for people receiving the digest. Gerry posts his messages to at least a dozen lists regardless of whether or not they are relevant. I believe that he has been blocked/banned from at least two jiscmail lists and I know he was blocked from one of my non-jiscmail lists way back in 2003 for his spamming of that list.
