Robin, Since you needed to post publicly to get my attention, I suppose I should reply publicly to set the record straight. First of all, I don't even remember responding to something you wrote, but apparently I did, and apparently I assumed the wrong sex (a word that doesn't bother me in the least, by the way). I take your word for it that I used "she," and I apologize. I have met both males and females with the name Robin, but in my circles it is much more commonly a female name. As far as my computer rejecting your private message, I am more puzzled than you are. I have never put filters of any kind on my computer, nor are there any now, as far as I know. It is unsettling for nasty guards to be so mean to you. I don't like nastiness. I didn't know I had any guards at all, and if I could find them I would fire them instantly! Now I can say I had an email problem when my ISP decided to change its address. I contacted Andy Rudoff who manages this list. He mentioned that my computer had rejected a good bit of email, a surprise to me. Whereas my address used to be cedel@redrose.net, it is now cedel@supernet.com. Did you, Robin, sir, by any chance use the old address? Have any of the rest of you had private emails rejected by my computer? So, in summary, I am very sorry this happened, causing you to expend energy on the long email. If anyone on the list can tell me how to keep this from happening in the future I will be most appreciative.
