For the record:
I have ordered no block on Shelby Moore's postings.
Shelby Moore's previous rant is in the list archives:
<http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg22190.html>
A possible reason might be that previous Shelby Moore postings came from
coolpage(_at_)earthlink(_dot_)net, while the latest rants came from
shelby(_at_)coolpage(_dot_)com; like nearly every other mailing list on the Net, the
IETF list sends nonsubscribers' posts to a moderator; unlike many, most
non-spam postings are eventually approved. But the process takes some time.

BTW, in addition to my previous rebuttal of Valdis (which seems to be
blocked from the list by Harald again), I keep forgetting to mention that
terrorists might be the likely source of a future virus which effectively
shuts down the email system permanently by evading all antispam and
overwhelming legit email.
Their economic incentive would be to disrupt the economies in the West
where there is heavy reliance on the internet email for business.
Given that the Taliban is against all forms of modern technology in daily
life (yet are astute at using it to fight), I think this is a very real
possibility.
