DO NOTBITE!!!! Curiosity overcomes me. I get 6 or 8 of those every day and I don't recall mention of race in any of them. What made you think the person who wrote you is Black? Richard

This list is for computers - not for name calling. I personally did not see a racial slur. And even if I had I would not have presumed to publicly chastise anyone. A private note would have served a better purpose.
