I agree 100% with Donna. This guy has serious issues. It's just a Win2k email list, not like we signed him up on a porn email list. I guess some people really don't have anything better to do than to get all worked up because their email list got moved to a better service. It takes all types, obviously. I'm personally very appreciative of Andrew's efforts to move us to a more functional environment.
