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.
