I Guess that Richard Stevenson is a guy in New Zealand who actually runs the 
Sheflug discussion forum for the group. In the past I had huge problems 
registering on the Sheflug list as they didn't like my e-mail address. 
Richard Ibbotson tried to register me directly as I couldn't do it via the 
site and eventually it turned out that someone in New Zealand was filtering 
my address and deciding that I was an unfit person based purely on this. When 
Richard Ibbotson found out he told me to get another e-mail address or leave. 
I got another address but hardly any of my post made it to the list so I 
left.

I am so far as I know still on the Sheflug list but none of my posts have got 
there for years now so the filtering is long term.
