Have you ever had people you DON'T want to hear from? MEP has a twitlist system. Mail on the twitlist will be discarded and you will be issued a mail messaged indicating the twit(s) tried, and the dear twits will be mailed a friendly message from you at no extra charge.1986 November 25, John Antypas, “MEP Info”, in net.sources (Usenet):

The christian trolls would twitlist all the non-christians and then vice-versa. However, Jerkel certainly needs some recognition so we could try this...1998 November 28, Timothy Meyers, “Twitlisting”, in alt.religion.christian-teen (Usenet):

I concluded almost right away that the Bard had no interest in useful dialog, so I have no use for him. I myself "twitlisted" him almost as soon as I discovered this conference, but I guess some of the rest of you either do not have this facility at your disposal or are uncertain how to use it.1994 February 25, Mark Brabson, “The Bard”, in soc.culture.african.american (Usenet):
