-- I guess I am confused then, because when there is a reply to a post by a particular person, without checking off the "add name of previous poster", and the post contains a reply that is clearly in response to what is contained in the post of the person who has issued a "DNP" request, how is that not responding to a person who has asked that they no longer be posted to. It doesn't make any sense at all. It is a circumvention of the civility rules, and it is no different than what Larry did, with the exception that Larry was the subject of a particular post, and, in a fair and just society, he should have been given the opportunity to address the things that were being said.
