I probably shouldn't, but I will... Mike, Thank you very much for a letter which could be best typified as offensive and arrogant. You are welcome to your opinion but I will continue to disagree and I will be more than happy if you filter my mail. Many people using Netscape Messenger include these attachments and are not going to go through the special effort of turning them off before posting them to list-servers. No one else has complained and the amount of vehemence that you display is no where near the "faux pas" that I may or may have not committed. I appologize to anyone who is unhappy about my standard Messenger attachment. I can only hope any others who I have made unhappy will complain in a more diplomatic fashion.
