Yesterday I e-mailed Mark "FUCKING" Goodhew (mgoodhew@juno.com) and wrote
roughly the following. (under the text of his outburst) "Are you aware that
your message was directed not to an individual but to a mass mailer? An
entire community received it, and each of them have likely formed a
judgment about your character on the basis that one sample. Is this the
public (net) image you want to project? My question is niether meant to be
sarcastic nor wholly rhetorical. Take care. -KMO"
I don't think that my response was by any means ideal, but you asked. Take
care. -KMO
