How about a nice polite

"This poster has chosen not to respond to the posts of Christopher
Barker." to his posts? At least that way any new posters might ask why
and they can be pointed to the Google archive and the point continues

You could post a weekly UMTM FAQ for newcomers.

This is a terrible idea (even worse than responding to say "I am not
responding"). I've seen this done in other groups. Nobody cares except
the people writing it and the person they are giving the attention to.
(For the past ten years FAQs are always done for the wrong reasons.)

It's about one step short of making an entire website about him which,
in case anyone is actually thinking about it, is utter lunacy.

Hmmph, well I'm not responding to that! :-)
