Gee, Smity -- don't believe I asserted that you were the
victim of an involuntary 'unsubscribe'. If they unsub'd you
after fair hearing, they were clearly not as tolerant as I
might hope.

Me, I am less tolerant of people who quote endless text
without trimming; of people who don't give a straight answer
to a simple question; of people who launch tangential ad

warning that I certainly consider that a fair method of
