Dennis,
Your headers are wrong, You wrote:
To: "Julian Stacey [EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Cc: Boris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Murray Stokely <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I Julian, the addressee, Did Not refuse ... etc, or all the rest,
So please fix your headers, or use "You `Persons name`".
Re. a post of yours about a day before, to someone else, not me:
When criticising a person's ideas or actions, adding personal perjoratives
(IE calling names) can detract as well from critic, as from target.
