2 questions:
1) does squelching someone also prevent them from sending you a check six?
2) is there any sort of permenant squelch list?
I'm asking these because I've gotten a few bogus check sixes when I was seconds away from achieving a firing solution on some bandit, only to have some $@!#%& swoop in and, for lack of a better word, steal my kill. Sucks to finally "win" a dogfight, only to have all that effort go to waste.

Last time was a day or two ago. After dogfighting one-on-one with some nme for a minute or two I finally manage to get saddled up. Now I'm just positioning for a shot. "CHECK SIX" I look around, can't see any bandits. Worry a little, thinking "is someone on my low six?" I stay saddled up, but focusing more on my six than the bandit I'm following, trying to clear my low six before going for the kill. All of a sudden, bandit I'm chasing goes boom and a 51 swoops down thru the fireball. I notice the name is the same as the person who check six'ed me, so I ask on range "what was that check six for?" He says "oh, just letting you know I was coming in..." WTF?!? WT squealing F?!?
I'm still fairly new at this (only been "flying" a couple of months...), was psyched about this well-earned kill I was about to score, and was suitably pissed by this turn of events. I wanted to scream obscenities at him on 200 and call him out on his *******itude, but decided instead to just squelch the loser, assuming that I'd never hear from him again.

Unfortunately I didn't make a note of his name, and even if I did, do I really want to go thru the effort of re-squelching him everytime I log on? No! I simply want a bullet-proof way to never hear from him again. No VOX, no text chat, and no bogus check sixes! Is this possible?
