I am not trying to start a war here. But just an interesting thought on the topic of the DELETE key. Many of the emails are posted with very vague subject (such as this one :) ). Thus I have to read it before I can decided whether to delete it or not. But then I have already read it. So do I read it first so I don't miss out on any good discussion or do I delete it assuming it's not worth reading? Hmmm...

I must say that I totally agree with Rachel. As a female, I found that the email Alex send out to be very offensive. And I definitely don't appreciate such comments on the list.

Every body entitled to speak whatever they want, subject to not physically or emotionally harming the other person.

Like what Rachel said, DELETE keys are always there for you for one purpose: to delete whatever you don't want to read!
