Jerome makes a great point here about the "Mute" capability, that's the easiest solution for a given thread within GMail.

This might get you poking about and noticing there is also a "Block" option for a sender - I urge caution with that one. Because SharedWeight rewrites the sender address to the list's address when it forwards on posts, you may end up blocking *all* list posts with that function even though it appears you are blocking just one sender (e.g.: Don Veino via Callers).

You can screen out a particular sender through Gmail's filter settings, but it is more complicated and requires manual editing of the filter.

In addition to filtering, for those who use Gmail, there is a More button above your mail, which contains the choice "Mute." When you mute a conversation, new messages in the thread bypass your inbox unless your name is added specifically as a recipient.

I'm sad to see several postings recently of folks considering leaving the Shared Weight list over issues regarding the volume or tone of postings on particular topics. I realize the following is a workaround for something others might want to fix culturally, but I hope it may assist someone on the cusp of leaving to find a means to stay with us.

Shared Weight is an email-based forum, and as such we don't have at our immediate use an "unfollow" function like those present in a website "forum" site. On those sites, typically one can designate easily a topic thread they wish to no longer receive notifications of but otherwise continue to enjoy the full participation of the resource.

In case you are contemplating ditching Shared Weight due to this issue, you may wish to consider using your email client's filter capability. For instance, with GMail, one can click on the "More -> Filter messages like these" option to keep out messages you no longer wish to see in your inbox. You can filter on single items like sender, subject line content or a combination.
