Actually, some BBS twitlists are "advanced" enough that messages both from and
to that user disappear.  It is like they don't exist.  :)  In the case of
running a BBS, those are perfect for echos that you moderate.  Yes, in the
case of an FTN or QWK network, the messages are still on the network
somewhere, but they don't show on your BBS or go to any downlinks you might
have, allowing for at least some level of moderation.

Any replies to that user also disappear.
