Greetings Dirk and endless  numbers of other list members
who find dealing with Chicago Steve  intolerable:
First, and foremost,  and I am AMAZED people don't
get this - there IS a "delete" key on your  computer. If you
find the posting of some individual frustrating,  intolerable,
inexcusable or just plain undesirable, USE  IT.
It is ridiculous to have MORE  postings complaining
about Steve than even the landslide of postings from  Steve,
himself. 
If you cannot  find it within yourself to see the humor or
just rib him - then, by all  means, DON'T READ HIS POSTS. If
his posts are so upsetting to you, WHY DO YOU  READ THEM???
(Can ANYONE answer that question? And Dirk, did you  REALLY
think for one moment Steve was going to "control himself?"
Cummon,  Dirk, you're a sophisticated guy. Do you even think
that is a  possibility?)
I am  astonished that people will actually REPLY to
Mateo - who was kicked off the  list and then blatantly formed
multiple email addresses so he could sabotage  the list owner
and continue to rain his  - posts - on this list in  blatant refusal
to be kicked off. What is the deal? How can people NOT  "tolerate"
Chicago Steve and still give one moment's acknowledgement
of  the existence of a completely out of control dealer who has
ripped off many  members of this list & who ignores the list
owner's attempts to boot him  off??? How do you justify that
in your heads?  
Ya, Steve's negative feedback on  eBay was out of line,
but he did apologize and straiten it out. 99.9% of his  posts
are just overwhelming exuberance and a lack of awareness
of social  propriety - quite different than ripping people off
and sabotaging the list  moderator's attempt to keep you off
the list.  
So, even taking the Italian  saboteur out of the equation,
you are left with the posts of someone a lot of  list members
do not care for. Fine - you have every right in the world  not
to care fore anyone you choose. But please, don't post more
to the  list than HE does complaining about  him.
Remember folks: Delete,  delete, delete.
It could be worse.  If you don't believe me, go look at the
Blog. NO! On second thought, I  wouldn't wish that one anyone.
Best wishes, and keep them Delete Keys oiled, Michael  

Amen.
Delete, delete, delete, delete. Oil. Delete, delete, delete, delete,  delete. 
Oil. It reeeeally works!!!
