Go ahead, that's your privilege to do so, and you needn't inform me.

It may be just my imagination, John, but after reading several of your
negative comments on several subjects to several people one word comes 
to mind:  "Wanker".

Of all the private e-mail I received regarding my posting here about
bringing attention to the fractals ad (an ad sent from a government site
with a strict AUP), I received *two* negative responses -- and yes, one
was from you, John.

By making these things public, it keeps things in check.  Otherwise these
types of ad posts/mailings -- at both taxpayer and personal expense --
are going to escalate.

Can't you see the difference between a commercial site connected to a
network, and using the network for commercial gain, John?  Or are you
really that dense?
