You're right, of course. Literally, they are Dr. Bob's boards. At least that's what I think all that info from WHOIS, a cool resource, meant. :)

I was thinking recently that maybe someone who is blocked could instead by significantly limited in posting...maybe to one post per day or a certain number per blocked week or something. And that privilege could then maybe be removed if they continue to post uncivil remarks.

I think the second is not unreasonable, especially if they could block one or more without having to turn Babblemail off entirely.
