Please do NOT respond on the list (or to him for that matter, as that is probably his goal) to the recent messages sent by a strange person about visiting his website etc. That person had already unsubbed himself from this list. In internet terms, that was a "troll", someone who just joins a group to start a problem. The expression used to deal with this is "don't feed the trolls", in other words, don't go for the bait, just delete it and ignore it.

Dear Maura, I should have known and I apologize for responding to the troll. I did so before I saw your below message.
