[cuthbert at riseup.net]

If 0742 is leaving messages on my friend's phone calling him "middle class
scum" then i think that 0742 should be banned.

> So I'm not seeking conflict: I would just like this group to be 0742-free.

> The above i feel is very much the thought and actions of others at Matilda
