I took the easy solution. It is "duck soup" to make a rule to redirect
anything from Peter into the infinite bitbucket of /dev/null. He
bothered me exactly once. Then I figured if he does not want to read
my messages I do not want to be bothered with him at all. I have a
procmail rule for such bozos. It saves on the heartburn coefficient
over getting peaved at him every time I post a message. (It will be a
really really cold day in the core of the Sun when I respond to such
an email and it's not a communications of deathly importance to ME.)
