I just set up a rule in my mail, thanks for the suggestion. It’s pretty darned late, I should have thought of that, thanks. Still, it’s a bandaid and I can’t wait until there is a real fix.

We can’t expect to simply ‘do our best to block it’ and let these people get away with causing such havoc on our websites.

This is bordering on criminal and if he’s a legitimate business man working for himself (why else would a home number be listed as a contact number) he needs to be prepared to deal with problems caused by his business 24/7.
Yes, I do encourage everyone who reads these forums to call this guy at any hour, and be rational and explain why you’re calling.
I just called him before this second post and he was woken from sleeping, and pretty annoyed. Claimed he wasn’t sending anything. Somehow I doubt someone else is providing him with free advertising without his knowledge and approval.
