I remember the incident a few weeks ago. This time around, there isn't any
question about who is doing it, so anonymity isn't the issue. On the other
hand, the tmda-bot wrote to me directly (my fault for hitting "reply all",
I guess) so I'm not sure what a list-level filter can do in this case.

In any event, there's no need to scan for the person like last time,
inconveniencing the list users & list admins in the process. The user in
question is known & probably getting this thread -- maybe s/he'll find a
way to get tmda to be quiet if discuss at blu.org is any of the recipients of
a mail. If so, I'd think that would take care of it.

Damn straight, man ;)

Two discs, six suites, half a dozen or so parts each. I don't know much
about classical music, but these solo cello pieces are very nice :)
