Joe;

I also received (for the very first time) a private email that was hateful.
My comments about certain list members putting out their Pagan view points
were the reason for the vile email. While some people took my comments as
frivolous or stupid, they were not intended to be so. Quite the contrary;
during the discussion about putting down viscous animals, people were
attacked for even considering this option. That is the reason that I
(finally) responded with what I believe to be an accurate statement
