Well, Genevieve, I think the key phrase in your whole message is:  'KEEP THEIR
QUARRELS TO THEMSELVES'.  If people want to trash each other endlessly, then
they should do it privately.  Sadly, I think some of them NEED an audience.  Too
bad.

The only reason a list is a superior vehicle to discuss and learn is that you
don't put up with the garbage that you usually find on the newsgroups...and it
becomes, over time, like a family affair.

Your recourse is to simply apply a filter that sends the offending 'senders'
directly to the trash, and set your trash options to permanently delete when
closing the mail/browse program.  This works quite well, and really keeps blood
pressure at a lower level.  Life is too short to spoil it with this sort of
behavior.

All my opinion...of course.
