Anyone have details on this or references to prior discussion? I have
to admit it was among my first thoughts, but don't know the specifics.
I've also received several off-list responses (and requests), which I
have to say rub me a bit the wrong way. I use lists for public
discourse. Unless there's a good reason for replying privately (off
topic, your ex will hunt you down and kill you), rollow up to list.
Don't ask me for private support unless you're willing to pay my rates
for same.
Peace.
