Hi Robin,

Well, there are some conspicuous omissions from the etiquette list.

a)How about the etiquette of sending people open-ended threats via private
e-mail, as in:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worst_of_qmail/message/19

b)How about the etiquette of using profanity, such as the word "c###", see:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worst_of_qmail/message/25

c)How about the etiquette of marking your e-mails as high priority when they
are not?

d)How about the etiquette of including mail fields like "Your computer has
been infected with a virus" in e-mails?

Robin, in essence you're a serial killer who is trying to pronounce moral
judgement on a shoplifter.

Best regards, Dave.
