Dear Listers, Received the following email from Dianne Soares <pals@goldrush.com>. I enclose the course of our brief correspondence, taking me to task for previously posting the material in the subject line above to DOHERTY-L & DOCHERTY-L. Despite my innocent intention, I feel obliged to apologise to anyone who is similarly offended, whether or not you might be "an writer", or possibly even "an lawyer". I will certainly exercise a degree of caution before posting any like material to the list in the future. Perhaps this can serve as a warning to anyone considering similarly criminal conduct. yours abjectly...
