And it's followed by a full quote of the offending e-mail.  This is the
second such _full quote_ I have seen in this thread.

I, too, can easily delete unwanted e-mail... but this is news.  Would
you care to explain why you have posted exactly that which you objected
to receiving via e-mail?  If you didn't want to read it, and you truly
believe it violates net.guidelines, why do you perpetuate it?

Or do you secretly get a cut from Global's sales?

Complaining is one thing.  Shipping the very object you're complaining
about around the world is quite another.

And you, for yours in the future.
