I've been out of the country and had the oportunity to read the entire despicable (+2 and [Is this]) threads and the thing of it is that it was started by "chamil" a fellow whose humour includes impersonating jds... His post is fallacious simply because he claims "I mean it started out simple enough. But now this new letters are a disgrace" and mr. chamil was not here when the list began, nor do I think ththere is a digest of our early days since I think that wonderful addition came along when stephen passed the list on to tim. I was thrilled with Diego's post because it showed me how much I can learn with this list but sad to say, sometimes folks like to start pranks and "flame" posts are an all too easy way for those with weak imaginations to feel prankish. I'm sorry to hear needless apologies from good folks who care about what their words do when the real apology should come from chamil. will On Mon, 29 Dec 1997, Malcolm Lawrence wrote: > Tim O'Connor wrote: > > > Nah, nothing offensive in there.
