Re: Http-Referer ?

Both of you,

This is not the place for this; it cheapens all of us.

You get the person's email, in the request. It is a simple process to answer
privately. Including these flames in the group mail is unnecessary; and
looks like a grab for attention.

Yes, I realize that I am sort of doing the same thing. I just want everyone
on the list to reflect on why this guild exists, and why we offer these
discussion groups.

The Internet is a monster, and we at HWG have a lot to say on how that
monster is tamed. We all need each other's help, and this is one of the few
places left that treats the Internet the way "Tim" wanted it to be treated.

Sorry to be so  long winded, I am very fond of what HWG does, and stands
for.
