I killfiled the thread, as I noted in two e-mails to the mailing list.
 The usual process for this involves flagging for moderation all
topics with that subject line, and additionally any members I think
likely to try to pursue the topic further, for a period of a week or
so.

Note again that "moderation" does not mean that you're prevented from
posting to the list, only that we look at your posts before sending
them on.  Had you posted on another topic, your message would have
been sent on within a few hours.

I explained my actions in the original thread, but as a courtesy I
also replied privately to the only e-mail I received from you
reiterating that the thread was killed.  I never received a second
e-mail.

I am generally terse if not succinct, but I don't know what about this
suggests that I'm "overworked."

Again, you were not blocked.  The only message from you that I held
from posting was the one to that thread, and that went for everyone,
not just you.  And again, I did post in that thread giving notice.
