Of course blacklisting harry on a personal basis is probably what some people did (i didn't, in the end, one needs the excitment and laughs that such emails produce). But ... I would propose harry to be expelled from the mailing list. Sorry, he does not have a clue about Open Source mentality and continuously bashes people (who are then still kind enough to reply to his please-do-all-the-work-for-me-for-free emails).

Well, he IS clueless and still doesn't get a whole lot of things (e.g. that he needs to provide way more information in a better way so others can understand his problem), and he doesn't seem to be able to read documentation and experiment by himself (after all, it looks like he's struggling for 3 weeks or so with this problem).
But: being clueless is no crime. And banning him isn't going to help: he'd just re-register with another name/e-mail address. And I think it would be a bit too harsh. Just add him to your spam-filter if you don't want to read his stuff....
