I just wanted to bring attention to another point that concerns me regarding the letter sent to the list yesterday under the name of "Mr Peepers." This letter was mailed anonymously to the list. This sort of thing is not uncommon on the net. There are plenty of anonymous remailers or other ways of modifying message headers out there. But I was hoping that this would not become a problem on our list. This is OUR list. These are your friends you are talking to. Isn't there a certain amount of respect (or at least courtesy) you should show them? If you don't want to put your own name on what you are saying, you might want to consider whether you should be saying it at all.
I don't think any of us would like always having to wonder whether a letter really comes from who it says it's from. Please think before sending letters to us in someone else's name.
Thanks
:-)
