Yes. I, as a lurker, I have more or less picked up on the = fact that something was going on. Seeing some of these threads out of conte= xt is sometimes hard to place. Hopefully things will improve in the future!=

Hi Cliff,

Unfortunately, for the last little bit, the list has been under siege by a = single person posting with multiple pseudonyms, posting a barrage of ill-fo= rmed questions in strained, tortured English, disrespecting the time and ef= fort of the people who take the time to respond by outright ignoring the an= swers, and asking each person responding personally for more and more infor= mation, whilst refusing to make any effort to apply the information gained;= until the poor person, who was only trying to help in the first place, fin= ally gives up out of frustration. Attempts to either reason with, prevent, = or call out this person on their behaviour, are met with type of righteous = indignation that can only be mustered by someone with a complete and utter = disregard for anyone and anything but themselves and their own personal con= venience- or someone simply enjoying the frustration that they are causing = by acting in this way. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference.

People are dealing with this noise in their own way, and there is some disa= greement about how to handle it. Some people are, understandably, a bit on = edge at the moment. The list, sadly, will be worse for it.

Eventually things will settle down again, and the community will again appe= ar to be as it has (always?) been- a collection of genuinely considerate an= d helpful people messing about with the intricacies of an interesting and u= seful language. :)

Cheers,
Garth
