[AGL] Jon Ford's imaginary urging

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Jon,

You remember wrong. Jim sent me that email off list.
I checked the headers which indicated that the email
indeed came from him. It was unlike his previous
remarks. My reaction was to immediately unsubscribe
him. Soon after I forwarded the message to the list
where you may or may not have read it.

As for saving it, are you kidding? Would you save
something like that?

You did not urge me to make it public because
I made it public myself. The dear departed
as i remember claimed that someone spoofed
it in his name. The headers showed that not to be
the case.

You don't know me, we have never met. Those
who know me know that I dont make up stuff.
As for your dear departed buddy, in recent
years he was a nut case. Do you not remember
the imaginary subscriber Philbert Desanex he
put on his list in order to say ugly things about
me? He or someone forwarded one or two emails
with that handle to AGL so i could read them.

If you have fond memories of the man he once
was, cherish his memory. Please do not suggest
again that i made up Strong's email to me. it may
be others' style to do such a thing, like when
wally sent spoofs to the list in the name first
of Ann Richards and again as Louis Black, it
is not my style.

Mike
