I have already gone on record that I will not tolerate contentious mail originating in arguments on maillists being sent to me privately. If you are ashamed to say it in public on the list, don't sneak around and send it to me in secret. When I get hate mail, I take appropriate steps, and sometimes that means forwarding that message to authority somewhere. Be warned. Sharon

I have no interest in mailing you "privately". But since you interpreted my statement that I don't love the U.S.A. as a form of "hate" -- I might also assume you've reported me to some authority. *You're* the scary one. Georgia in Alabama
