Sorry Steve, I can't agree with ya on this one. I was on a list (Saab-l) that rather arbitrarily, in my mind, banned earthlink.net accounts because of spam. It took me several months to get the list administrators attention and by the time I got back on there was no fun left in it. It smells of arbitrary censorship. I'm sure Gayatri could block individual e-mail accounts if someone broke the list rules repeatedly. And granted they could keep joining under a different name but there are better ways to handle this at the admin level.
