My request does have something to do with Wally, in fact everything to do with 
him.  It is his emails that are generating this enormous number of private 
emails.  He sends private copies to people, and everyone else then just 
clicks on "reply all".  I have belonged to this list for a good many years 
and this has _never_ happened before.  It is specifically Wally's emails that 
I am asking people not to send me.  The list exists for that.

Yes, I know.  But I don't actually want to filter the emails about and from 
Wally, I just don't want the deluge I am getting of private emails.  The list 
exists for that, and I do filter the list to be separate.

I can only assume that you have not tried to help Wally and been deluged in 
this way.
