More irrelevant crap deleted.

Why in the world would anyone want to bring this ridiculous crap up again?
If I hit send, its gone, its public, it doesn't matter, end of story.  If I
quote an e-mail you send out to a list and you don't like it . . . sue me.

Enough of this anal-retentive garbage.  Lets stick with the subject of this
list.
