OK: you get stressed. I do understand that stress can cause health problems.

So you need to avoid those things that cause stress.

This is what I was trying to do by filtering the conversation between you &
Bob - removing subjects that might cause stress -- ie keeping the conversation
to the narrow topic of payments -- ie removing off-topic material.

This would have benefited Bob as well as you. Please remember that others do
get stressed by conversations just as you do.

My offer to do this filtering still stands.

The conversation after filtering would still go through the mail lists -- ie be
completely open.
