I was wondering as well. I've checked, and he's not in my kill file either.
I've not seen any post from him since the 17th June. I have seen a couple
of replies to invisible posts.

AFAIAA, Microsoft do not monitor or read this newsgroup so it's unlikely
that he's been blocked (at least by them). Besides the few replies that
there are to his boring posts suggests that they are not blocked but being
filtered somehow (and not to everyone).
