I've not seen Etienne Robillard much before, so I think he's relatively
new. He appeared first, I think, two months ago with one post about how
"english" a word was, and then last month and this he'd done nothing but
try and weasel money from people and offend them.

*We just need to ignore him and warn newcomers*, similarly to how we deal
with 88888 Dihedral (a bot, btw).

So, yes, that's a purposeful troll.

Note, Etienne Robillard, that if you reply to me I will not respond. That
applies to more than this thread. I hope others do the same, and that
newcomers *are* warned.

With two irritants (including 88888), is it not advisable that python-list
gets an admin to block these accounts? Even if it does nothing more than
slow them, that's something.
