Yeah, I had the problem starting a couple of weeks back.  I asked the list about how he seems to be
replying to messages by quoting the whole message and adding nothing else.  After getting a few
direct e-mails from him the same way-- full quotes, no reply-- but with photos of one of his
"meteorites" attached, I think I came up with a solution to what he is doing on the list.  Could it
be that he is trying to post his photos to the list, but that the binaries are being stripped away
before they reach the list?

Anyway, I just put him in my killfile, so I no longer see anything from him.  Oh, and I hear that
somehow his e-mail address made it's way into several usenet newsgroups that spammers use for
harvesting e-mail addresses for their mailing lists, but I have NO idea how that happened.  :-)
