If I was Gerry's manager, I would be asking questions about the amount of time he has to compose such a large number of emails.

Can he just be deleted and banned from the list - this would save us all having to delete his emails and all the emails saying that he is doing us all a disservice by feeding us all with such mindless stuff

I wasn't suggesting that Gerry isn't a problem, only that, to the list
owners, he may not yet appear to be a big enough one for them to take
action. I think a statement from them might be helpful?

I doubt Gerry has blocked himself, he is clearly too busy writing to have
time to read anyone else's posts.

I think setting up a Gerry list is a really good idea- those who want it can
get it, everyone else has less to wade through/delete. Another reason why
the complaints seem to be just a drop in the ocean is probably because most
people don't want to kick up a fuss, or be seen to be complaining about
something that others may appreciate- I know I felt slightly embarrassed
replying to all before I realised my concerns were shared by so many others!


Gerry's lack of response to this discussion almost seems to suggest that he
has blocked replies from the list himself!

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.
