You misplace your analysis here, pee. It is not the 'living room'
or the 'mailbox' that counts, but the INTENT of the sender.
that sender KNEW that nobody wanted to read his vulgar shit, and
he sent it with the INTENT to harass.

hey pee baby... did YOU get the letter? did you read that entire
perverted rape-murder story?  could you not tell that the author was
a very sick and dangerous person?

"offensive ones" must have a WARNING!  I sent that to one of my
mailing lists that deals with e-mail enforcement, and a lady wrote
me back and said I should have "warned her," so it was a VERY offensive
piece of e-mail, and it WAS intentionally sent by the e-mailer 
apparently hundreds of times.

Kitty, your sig makes you look crazy...
but you never have any INTENT to offend, so it is o.k.
