- Let us stop this thread, please. A user at this site, by mistake,
- posted to this list what was intended to be private mail. This sort
- of mistake happens, and is not too infrequent. I think that it it
- quite easy to recognize when this has happened - for instance, if the
- message is not in English, it can be easily discarded as such a
- mistake. And, at least, the list should not be cluttered with
- complaints - angry receivers may scold the sloppy senders in private
- mail.
-
- BTW, I was told that the originator of the message which started all
- this has been repeatedly chastised and praised - which should not be
- surprising for those who understand the language (don't ask me - it
- wasn't U-W material, anyway).
