You posted personal e-mail not relevant to the GNU project to
gnu.misc.discuss because you thought you were being badgered?  Tsk,

I believe your suspicion is due to paranoia.  I suggest you cease
posting irrelevant articles here, especially those containing personal
correspondence, unless you want to be subject to some real badgering.
