If a poster is causing enough aggravation that a large number of people 
have killfiled him, is there a process for banning him from the list? 
That is surely a better solution than having many people individually 
killfiling him?  I would assume those with the power to blacklist 
addresses from the mailing list do not do so lightly, and that there is 
a procedure for it.
