To Dr. Thomason

[Sarah Fox]

Hi all,

For all it's worth, I'll suggest the (unlikely ?) possibility that the email
was forged -- that someone sent it to Isaac under Calin's name.  It's easy
to do.  I could demonstrate if everyone would like.  I've seen this done on
other lists, apparently by people who get their jollies by stirring up
others and watching them flame each other.  It's rather disturbing that
anyone would do this and/or that anyone would flame Isaac in this manner
anyway -- *especially* on Christmas Day.  Still, one can't necessarily
believe what one gets through the Internet.  If anyone is interested in
sleuthing this thing out, examine the headers and see which servers the
email was routed through.  (Isaac, if you would like to forward me the full,
original email, complete with headers, I would be happy to examine it for
you.)

Perhaps the most generous thing we can do at this time is to give everyone
the benefit of the doubt and try to forget about it.  Hopefully it won't
happen again.

Peace,
Sarah

What ever the intentions of mr Calin Thomason...he does not seem a very
nice and diplomatic person. I don't like the way he handled this and he
had better not express himself here another time.
