Sid,
In a word, fuckem. I have not got such a message, but on the WWW, where
sociopaths and inconsiderate people abound, it's not surprising that someone
would get such a comment. I enjoyed your pic very much, as my remarks
indicated, and honestly think you should write off this person as a crank
and forget about it.
Mike

Subject: I got an UGLY Malicious PUG Comment-- Did anyone else?
> Hi all:

> "The yellow green cast doesn't help much."

> And to top it off, he titled his letter to me as: "Daddy@stupidtitle"

> Wow. Is my initial reaction. I am not so prudish or elitist to not

> Wow. Was I singled out? Or did anyone else get a critique from "Versal

> Perhaps I'm too sensitive. I don't know. Am I wrong to take exception to
