<DIV><SPAN class=879312622-02082004><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>You know, I was
going to be quiet about this, but enough is enough, Nancy. And, no more private
e-mails to you.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=879312622-02082004><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>(1) I wrote to
Kevin twice (personally) and nicely the first time, by the way, to tell him what
the problem was and that *he* would have to follow the instructions to get off
the list. The result of that was an e-mail to my e-ddress, (not to the list),
with "unsubscribe" in the subject, and a copy of someone else's e-mail in the
body. He never responded to me personally. I suggest that several people got
that type of response, but others got some real trash talk from
him.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>(2) After we got the well crafted death notice, and Nancy
wrote the vitriol to the list, I wrote her and told her what *I* had done,
and she sent back an unbelievably rude reply, just because I asked her if she
(the only one with a good relationship with Kevin) had also tried to help him.
She also copied me a perfectly rational e-mail he had sent her. None of the
dis-jointed messages some got from him.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=879312622-02082004><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>(3) Several of us
have tried to placate the rest, with insults from Nancy at every
turn.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=879312622-02082004><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>(4) Now, Nancy,
if you are going to "shame" Viola, ("I never said, that anyone of you killed
Kevin") please read your reply to someone earlier this
week:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

write to tell people about, loving kindness, while Kevin was with us!

<DIV dir=ltr style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" <i><FONT size=2>Now it's too late to be
kind to him. {Only to Shirlee} Some of the or-roots members really
stressed him out. He was trying very hard to unsubscribe, but some.. just
made fun of him... some were cruel and rude. He told me that himself. They just
wouldn't back off and let him unsubscribe, he was stressed out and Stress
can kill..<SPAN class=879312622-02082004>"</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

me, but not only did some of us try to help, frankly there is nothing any of us
could do, including you, apparently, to either help or hinder his getting off
the list by "backing off".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

we know that?), we can put it down to his medical condition.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

thread. *That* my dears, is protocol for e-mails to lists. You don't copy and
copy and copy, you just excerpt the part that is germane to the subject. So,
yes, Nancy, you can expect not to have all the message, and the message before,
and the message before that. . . (I think there were five messages in this
before Nancy reminded me and I cut them out.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
