As another lurking member, I can only say this:

Folks, it's your decision to let this matter die.  As long as python-list is
coupled to Usenet, there will be little to no barrier to posting, and the
only way to get rid of trolls is to ignore them.

Let the barrage of posts continue for a few more days; if he doesn't get
replies he will get fed up eventually.

cheers,
