We're not going to get into another dump Karl argument are we?  For whatever 
opinions exist about him the fact remains that this is an open list with no 
moderator.

If you don't like Karl and what he posts, then use filters and you will be 
at peace.

If you are afraid that Karl is polluting the list and doing damage to other 
users then try your best to do damage control.  (It will all come out in the 
wash eventually.)

FWIW, I love my Dad...but he is getting on in years.  Sometimes he comes to 
me with problems he has on his PC (he is a Windows only person).  When I try 
to tell him what is wrong or explain the situation the first words out of 
his mouth are "I know...".  At which point I stop in my tracks.  There is no 
point in trying to convince him that he doesn't know...and I end up being 
the only frustrated person since he is sure he is right.  So, I've learned 
...with my Dad anyway...not to waste my breath.
