Probably the best way to handle Karl is to ignore ALL of his posts.
If he does not what to make the conform to the standards and
etiquette of the list, then he can solve his own problems. That is
probably the best way - he is seldom willing to listen to advice
that conflicts with his ideas of what is wrong.

One thing that I have learned is that it doesn't take too many
people like Karl, and people defending his attitude before a list
starts losing the "experts" and the level of help available on the
list drops drastically. The more people you have that feel they do
not need to follow the published guidelines of the list, the more
the quality of the list deteriorates. If that is what people want,
so be it. I know I have cut way down on the time I spend helping
people on the list, and have basically stopped doing research on
subjects that I do not have the answer, but know where to look for
it. From what I am seeing, I am not the only one. Something to think
about...
