That's not the way I intended this. My idea was to still have Olin and others on the moderated list censored, but we would have the option of receiving AND replying to these Censored posts. Sensitive people and new people would not receive this because it would be opt-in. Peter ----- Original Message ---- From: Vitaliy To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public.

His approach requires *public* embarrassment of the victim. Otherwise, he would send the victim a private message. This problem has no technical solution. FWIW, I am perfectly fine with the way things are. As far as I'm concerned, Olin should be censored for as long as it takes him to learn the proper etiquette. "Indefinitely" is an acceptable timeframe. In the big scheme of things, the loss of Olin would mean at least an order of magnitude less to the List, than the loss of the List would be to Olin.
