From another list, but applicable here

[Guest guest]

On another list and in a different context, the listowner described the

emails that they receive. It reminded me of the situation here, so I

thought I'd share his comments.

If you see yourself here, you might take heed.

>Approximately one in every couple of thousand is totally

>obnoxious and vulgar. They will write and the email will be

>loaded with curse words, and derogatory statements; you name it,

>they write it. They rudely demand to be removed from the list

>when all it takes to be removed is about 10 seconds with a quick

>It no longer bothers us, it did at first, but you get used to

>lashed out against.

To get back to our world, I have been called the following on the

Gallstones list:

" I find you to be wormwood to this group "

" I find you to be a satan "

" . . . must be twisted, diluted "

(I shared this curse with someone else, who has since dropped

off this list.)

Good health to all of you.
