Pleasant, I kept my post clean, no four letter words.
Sarcastic, I think I my post was pretty sarcastic.
Chastising, maybe not enough.
So what's the problem??
At least now other users know what's going on, somebody else has
reported of getting similar emails from Denon0 AT aol DOT com and now when this
happens again the victim will at least have a clue as to whats going on.
I have no comment on aol.com, for all we know this could just be some
idiot who has it in for aol users. The person I was replying to was an
aol user, maybe Denon0 uses a search engine on @aol.com then hits people
who followup their articles.
