That's ridiculous. Where is the cost to sundial of being berated by you or marto with near-identical diatribes each time he spews out some meaningless and largely irrelevant drivel? It sure isn't working, if raising the cost is intended to shut him up. Instead the cost is borne by everyone else who now has to read or ignore double the drivel or triple the tripe.

Honestly, how can you think "Don't feed the trolls" does not apply here?

Why don't you expend some of the same energy and examine (a) what percentage of posts are sundialharrea and (b) what percentage of posts are responses telling him he has the runs? Then look at the report and consider whether *you* are adding anything with those responses.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
