This is the first time in my tenure on these lists that I have ever received an email like this one. I considered writing a reply to this person. Then I reconsidered. I am taking his private reply public. I don't know who this person is. Regardless, this response is wholly inappropriate. I ask the people who subscribe to this list to turn their back to this person.
