Unfortunately, this idiot did not take a hint when I blocked him/her
and started another mirroring/copying at 1.45 pm today from an AT&T
dialup account.

The forum was unavailable during most of this period, and I will
report this to AT&T and Cox Communications as I suspect this is an
deliberate attempt to kill The Webtender web site.
