Hi everyone,

Fourth posting.

I received this insulting little email today:

My immediate reaction was quite unprintable. Obviously, we're not all such
good friends on this list as I assumed. Well fine, if even my work archiving
discs isn't appreciated then I will spend my summer elsewhere.

I'm all for criticism but for goodness sake keep it constructive. I send off
emails to the Mailing List as I send emails to my friends. I certainly don't
use HTML codes in them so where they come from, I don't know, Mr Babb. And
what's this "can't quote correctly"? How am I supposed to know what you're
talking about?

 How about actually spelling out your grievances instead of firing off such
an offensive missive?

Best wishes,
