I think it's mostly Outhouse Express that does it, it defaults to saying that the person whose message you're replying to wrote it, even if it's a url and a news article someone else wrote. How to make a journalist cross. Not just on my account though, it's happened to a lot of people and when I've attacked it it's been as a general rule. >Is it OK to just say "Biofuel@sustainablelists.org wrote:" and >not mention a name when including a response? Why not just say Hi Whoever? If it's not signed there's a name or email address on the original. >I'm glad you liked the post >otherwise. So did I. >I don't blame Keith for being a little testy. Nah, I'm not being testy. Let's see, I sent three posts, two smilers and a grr. But I definitely meant the grr. About time too. >We all are these days with >what is going on in the world. It's not that Marilyn. There was a time when I got overwhelmed by all the stuff I was staring in the face. It made me angry, I was angry for a few years before I learnt how to smile again. While still looking the same grim stuff in the face. But that was a long time ago. Once in Hong Kong I took a ride in a Kowloon taxi with a driver whose English was a bit like my Cantonese (terrible!), so we got on like a house on fire. He had a good wife and two great children he said, but no money: "Drive taxi no money." "No money no life," I said (very common Hong Kong saying). "No money to die!" he said laughing. "No face!. Every day I pay $20 for lunch, good food, but no face. But I don't mind! Rich men pay $1000 for lunch, good face. But they forget to smile! "So - don't die! And don't forget to smile!" I thought that was great - the guy knew everything about life! We smiled the rest of the way. When I got out he said: "Don't forget - don't die!" "I'll try," I said. "Don't forget to smile!" We went our different ways, both laughing like hell. Regards Keith >Marilyn > > >Note: Forwarded Email Message Below: > >Yeah I didn't write that Marilyn.
