Goddamn it Bertie, the man is a jerk, no doubt about it. But when he

either answer the man directly, but if you are ignorant of the answer as you
appear to be, just let it drop. Giving him grief for a well thought out
question is a sure way to make it indistinguishable to him the difference
between honest questions and most of his postings. Remember Psych 1? Or
the Fundamentals Of Learning?

Jim,

I solved this problem by kill filtering Bertie shortly after filtering
MX. With MX filtered I was still seeing virtually all of his posts
since Bertie lacks the self-control to refrain from responding it every
single post MX makes. Once I filtered them both, things returned almost
to normal ... at least as normal as r.a.p gets these days.
