Thanks Enrique,
I really appreciate the support. Like i said i don't know who the person is,
but the message seems to have come via the list.

Well, in my own way, that's exactly what I did. I guess one of my pieces of
"liberal shit" is that I believe in meeting violence/abuse with dignity
rather than escalation wherever possible. In this case i feel it makes a far
stronger message to allow the community to voice their opinion on such
abusive behaviour, rather than to descend into an anonymous e-mail slagging
match. I also feel it is more respectful to the spirit of this list not to
start some fringe flame-war.
Thank you for your mail, I at least will take it as one vote that I made a
good choice.
cheers
Joe
