May I asked how you know this? Andrei brought a lot to these NG's, and I hope he reconsiders.

Besides, there's always an alternative to "blacklisting" an entire group, and that would be simply 
to ignore those who a) continually piss you off, b) start making personal attacks and/or c) cannot 
let an argument drop w/ a "we'll just have to agree to disagree".

Well, at least that's good to hear. I actually think that Andrei did a lot to convince Walter to 
move on some issues that have often been argued for, and will benefit us all.
