Speaking of which please no mime format the digest repeats it with loads of extra characters.

I can appreciate the original sender's frustration, but found the language used in that email excessively poor taste. This is a list that chalderns and young people read, thought, and so the profanity was certainly not inappropriate to the situation. just an opinion..... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 18:24:11 EDT From: MDennis460-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Re: How to Unsub Message-ID: <4a07b93d.253e498b-+AT+-aol.com> In a message dated 10/19/99 6:11:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time, MDennis460-+AT+-aol.com writes: << Thank you for the information.

As a "chaldren" myself, i think that we get the rap for cussing a lot more then we should. Who teaches us? TV?? no you don't have to let us watch it. Movies?? don't gotta watch that either. Video Games?? you don't have to buy them for us. We learn from our parents. ya know that "See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil" quote?? its true. what ever we see and/or hear our parents do or say, we copy. However, its not always as bad as some1 who doesn't know us think. When i was little, i lived with my grandma. She raised dogs, so can you guess what my first word was?? If you guessed Bi*** you are right. (I *** it out cuz SOME ppls think its bad!) At granny's, it wasn't a bad word. but when i went to my dad's house, it was. i pointed t my step mom's poodle and said, in my lil kiddy voice, but at the top of my lungs, "Bitch!!" dad understood, but Ricee didn't. She tanned my hide b4 dad could explain that it wasn't a bad word in our fam. Just goes to show ya, things all depend on your point of view! Zhai'helleva! Brightsong k'Shala (PS That poodle happened to be a boy, but i was little okay?) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 17:07:53 -0700 From: Lisa Whitman To: "'mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk'" Subject: RE: HELP... URGENT!!! Message-ID: I can't believe that you sent this out via the mailing list....I don't think that this is a proper request. However, if this person is harassing you....contact AOL. This happened to a friend of mine and they will take care of it. Star I have an e-mail stalker... also known as Carin340-+AT+-aol.com... WOuld you all be so kind as to send her blank messages witht he subject of DIE STALKER...or something to that affect.

Message-ID: <380D1197.42238BE0-+AT+-vt.edu> How is it that I received the reply to "HELP... URGENT!!!" *before* I received the original "HELP... URGENT!!!"? I have my email on automatic 5 minute check *grin* so it seems very odd to me... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 20:51:28 -0400 From: "John Anthony Kazos Jr." To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Misty's Birthday? Message-ID: <380D1210.55479B07-+AT+-vt.edu> Does anyone know Misty's birthday (for sure; no guessing, please)? I'd like to hold an impromptu celebration of it here, and maybe send a message to the list on the day to remind us of our wonderful student of the muses on her year-day. :-) Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 20:50:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Alison Heath To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Re: HELP... URGENT!!! Message-ID: Lizzie- A better option might be to block the messages that come from that address. It's really easy to do with Hotmail. The next time you get an e-mail from here, a look for a hyper-link that will appear next to her e-mail address that says "Block Sender." Click that link and you will receive e-mails from that address any more. They will immediately be deposited in the trash.

That might get her plug pulled. Other then that you could block any messages from her. I use the blocker available with OE5 to block anyone who sends spam and also for some individuals who have become abusive on some of the newsgroups I read.

WOuld you all > be so kind as to send her blank messages witht he subject of DIE > STALKER...or something to that affect. > first of all, it's not polite to send a request as such via the list. second, why bother to go to his/her level? you always have a choice: ignore and delete, or open the mail, and read it. if you (and friends) are going to bomb that person with "DIE STALKER", don't you think that person will see that as a challange? and if you don't want to receive anything from that person, follow the advice from some of our listsibs, and lock the person out! greetz, chrisje. > > Thank you much, list sibs, > > Mikayla > > ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 13:47:57 +0200 (CEST) From: Leon Planken To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Re: Off the list Message-ID: On Tue, 19 Oct 1999 Paustinnew-+AT+-aol.com wrote: [...] > Oh -- and the use of the ef-word -- when I was in high school, a > teacher told me it actually stood for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge." > The initials were supposedly pasted on those who were caught in > adulterous situations.

One of the arguments used against the theory that it's an acronym was that acronyms were not used before this century or so... All I know is that it looks a heck of a lot like the German "ficken", which has the same meaning, I believe.
