Marcel, Debra's reply went to you AND THE LIST. This not the same as personal e-mail! Your "proof delivered" is nothing of the sort. What people have repeatedly objected to are *personal* e-mails. By that, I mean e-mail messages addressed *solely* to them. An email message To the list and CCd to someone else is not personal. An email To someone specific which is CCd to the list is not personal. The mechanics of e-mail clients are such that occasionally both the originator's e-mail address and the list's e-mail address both end up in the recipient headers of a reply message. We all have to live with that, and remember to check the headers to see where the message was destined. I'm interested that you said "when have the Israelis ever done what the Islamics did yesterday. Attack some distant country and murder 10-20,000 people". I find this fascinating in the light of the fact that Islamic people the world over are seeking to distance themselves from this attack, and *whatever* organisation perpetrated it, and to NOT be tarred with the same brush as the terrorists. Your statement leaves me with a very bad taste in my mouth. It's just like me saying "all Americans are red-neck assholes". A complete and unjust generalisation. > I have categorically demanded that they delete my posts. This is nowhere near the same magnitude as people asking you not to e-mail them privately with a message that isn't also CCd to the list at large. It's like sending junk mail to a million people but saying at the top "If your name is foo, bar, or blat, please throw this in the bin now, or I'll take it as a personal affront if you don't, and happen to object to the contents of this letter". Bah. --Chris
