Hi Marc:
God bless you! You have sooo much more patience with such matters
than do I! When people try to engage in such disingenuous,
duplicitous and insincere behaviors on my list groups, I ban them
with a vengeance and order them never to write to me again! And, if
they try it again, I send them a nasty letter and then get their ISP
to disable their email account for violation of TOS for having
spammed me by sending me harrassing email after being ordered to
cease and desist! (one such person, a "health practitioner", later
told me that she lost eight years of archived old emails and her
entire adress book when Yahoo Mail disabled her account for
repeatedly spamming me. Another man, a naturopath and self-styled
"health guru", lost five years of email files and address book files
at Yahoo Mail...) The best part is that I have a lot of fun doing
these things to such people; it makes me feel good inside! >:-} :-)
with care,
--Vinny
