Yes, kudos to all.  I suffer from a similar problem.  The xfce list
maintainer blocks all ip addresses from my ISP.  Even if I could send
mail to complain (which I can't), I know from past experience that he's
a total hardass, so it wouldn't do much good.  At least we do things a
lot better on this list, or I wouldn't be able to participate.
