Blating like crazy off-list.
To Jeroen: How dramatic. And my aren't you clever. While I don't take great measures to protect my identity on the internet, I also don't make an effort to broadcast it. If this disturbs you, perhaps you could have tried asking me before concocting scenarios of conspiracy and attacks. You are constantly seeking consensus on these matters. I added my 2 cents. All that should have mattered was that I was a listmember. This you verified. To Brin-L: I emailed Jeroen wanting to criticise his disruptive behaviour and encourage him to examine his own actions and seek help if needed. I was wrong to attempt this but I had just finished catching up on a weeks worth of mail which was still saturated with this crap. Although I was not part of any conspiracy it may have appeared to Jeroen as if I was. I apologise to the list for throwing fuel on the fire. My intentions in keeping it off list was to avoid further embarrassment for Jeroen and reduce list volume of a tired subject. Jeroen, you should check your records. I think you are attributing that "unsubscribe" post in January to the wrong person. However, please don't post a correction as the poster likely values their privacy also. Thank you. This is all the blating I intend to do on this matter. Hi All! , re-lurking [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 07/23/2002
