Sounds like about the only plausible solution to me... Perhaps in a perfect
world Suz could spend time punishing baiters, but it sounds like that's not
gonna happen.

I dunno if I'd be so proud if that were my record. If cars crashed only 5%
of the time, I'd feel pretty unsafe in a car. My record for ignoring Scott
is far better than yours. So are most peoples'. You've got one of the worst
track records on that front-- hence the so deemed "Scott & Larry Show"
(don't ask why he gets front billing-- I wouldn't know). Your record should
be 100%. Or maybe 99.99%.

My personal thought is one reason he does it is BECAUSE he knows people will
take the bait. Stop responding. It'll probably help because he won't get
responses. Maybe not. And if not? The problem STILL diminishes.

"Should"? No. But again, plausibility. Bait posts are MUCH harder to track.
Raging fury flamefests are much easier to locate. *Should* he get away with
it? No. And it's not fair. But tough. Until we have a viable solution, it
ain't happening.
