Ok, I would like to throw my vote in for calling this officially "over the line". The flamewar spawned by this person's original email was *hardly* interesting enough to justify all of the traffic, but now we've sunk to PERSONAL THREATS. This is unacceptable! Stop this crap now!! Listmeistress, I hope that you will kick this person from the list. Threatening to ruin someone's academic or professional career by forwarding slanderous or inflammatory emails about their "cup size" *ought* to be unacceptable behavior on at least *this* list! (We'd be all over this person if we could prove they were a man - the gender of the person *making* these not-so-idle-threats ought not to be an issue.) For those of you who may be attacking this person's network, whether out of rancor or curiosity, please demonstrate that you can be more mature than she is, and leave her network alone.
