I think that as noble as it is to hope people can be mature enough to not
reply to emalis with subjects like "MIDASWAD", that they just can't pull it
off.

As one who has been feeling overwhelmed by the trolling, both here, and on
the Linked In forums (different troll, slightly more vitriolic, not quite as
much of a drain, but still astoundingly obnoxious), I'm appreciative of the
big guns. I literally mark the emails as read without even opening them,
now. And even seeing them come into my inbox makes me cringe.

I find it so disillusioning to watch people talking about how they're not
going to talk it.

Ilias has had a few good points, but is simply not worth the overhead. Any
benefit that comes from having him post here is drowned out a thousand times
by the drawbacks of having him post here.
