Elliot:
The problem is global not local: you and others who suggest blocking offer
a technical solution to non-technical problem: Craig Fink has demonstrated
that he does not subscribe to the rules and intent of this forum. It is he
who needs to be excluded.
This is not a position I arrive at lightly: I, like everyone else here,
have tolerated Mr. Finks highly inappropriate posts for a very long time:
Terry is correct, it is well past time that he was stopped from posting
here.

I have to agree with Troy.
The well named Mr. Fink is not someone who should be posting to this
list—whilst he is plainly at least amateurish, he is no amateur rocket
builder—and were this list properly curated he would have been blocked long
ago.
All of which is intended to observe that the problem here may be with the
moderation—or lack thereof—of the list.
You are too valuable a resource to this community to lose over so easily
solved a problem: I speak out of turn here, but perhaps you would consider
becoming moderator of this list? Few seem to me better qualified....

I really hope you change your mind Terry. You're definitely one of the
reasons many of us are on here. These are trying times, no doubt about it,
but hang in there.
Cheers,

I know, I can always delete posts. But each such post is an annoyance,
especially when the poster is a fanatic by Churchill's quote. And with
everything going on in the US right now, I certainly don't need any
annoyance in my life.(rather
I'll miss hearing about real rocketry from people who do real rocketry
than those who pretend). But the annoyance factor has finallyovershadowed
the utility -- at least for me; I don't know about anyone else.
And all you real rocketeers, keep plugging. Don't blow yerself up.
