I have just returned from two weeks away to read this entertaining thread. I am tempted to add my "vote" for a ban too, but I fear that may be "feeding the troll".
If "Krishna Birth" or "Meeku" is spamming as many lists as it appears he or she is doing and is getting banned as a result, it seems to add to his/her apparent paranoia, with a consequent increase in the noise level (probably elsewhere as well as here - "see, I just got banned from ALUG as well...." )
Ignoring trolls often works.
That's gets my vote. I'm always reluctant to ban someone outright - after all, we all have (probably) adequate filters on threads and particular e-addies if necessary.
