I believe at least most of those posting preceded the messages
from Dan about what he now understood and would not repeat in
the future.  If there are exceptions since then (I don't recall
any but have found these threads someone overwhelming), I
believe they fall into the range in which there seems to be
considerable disagreement in the community about appropriateness
or lack thereof.

Your ability to predict the future may, of course, be better
than mine, but I believe we owe it to ourselves, as well as to
him, to try and let him try.  If doing so fails (i.e., produces
inappropriate postings as you predict), I think the best way to
evaluate the difference between my proposal and Pete's would be
to figure out how long it takes to invoke the PR-action and get
him off these lists.
