Please see below for the reply I sent to your email. I will no doubt get
flamed for it but I was replying to your opinion that "some people think
they got what they deserved" which gave me (my opinion) the impression that
you where one of these people. This is the reason I wanted it off the list.
I replied off list as it was personal to me and me alone and my thinking
that you agree with what happened was not going to help relations between
you or me if ever we meet. I tried to be as polite as I possible and over
the months that I have been on the list have tried to remain so but of all
the mails I have read on this list that one made me quite angry which was no
doubt your aim.

You have successfully resurrected that opinion on this list for which I say
"clever boy".

Plenty of people have mentioned the haphazard fscked up policy of America
and had reasonable well written replies to which I would have been proud to
have put my name but I am not aware of anyone saying implying they deserved
it.

I am still thankful this is not a political list although debates do take
place.
