Thanks so much Chris for sorting this out rather quickly and also give us some clarification as to the possibility of hacker on the email address. This list never fails me when come to anything Mac, and i think, generally, the listers have a mutural respect to each other and their personal space. It is rather, interesting, when, something like this happen, how many of the people will jump up and down and request some changes to the list. Since i join from some years ago, i never see such problem within the list before, and definitely not personal abuses towards anyone on list. I hope, now, since that unfortunate incident now been done and dusted, the listers can calm down and have a normal and meaningful discussion. If, something like that happen to any list, and the only action to take for some is to create other list, sooner or later, the internet will be full of abendent list. After all, there is no universal rules to say that we must all get along with each other.
Ones again, thanks very much, and also, thanks for the mods and the admins of this list.
