Good luck...keep the faith. thank you for your kind thoughts there is such a 'blocking' option in my eudora e-mail software but i would not use it in a situation like this in my opinion, i was very close to the point of being harrassed and i refuse to 'hide' from [i.e. concede defeat to] the harrasser the fact that cruder language was used under 'cover' of private e-mail than has been used in public e-mail seemed to me to be a form of 'bully-tactics' which i felt was important to expose to the list in my opinion, it is sad that some of us feel the need to behave in such a manner but it is also a fact of life, in the 'real' world as well as here on the ether frontier i believe that life is meant to be difficult life is meant to be challenging so that we can face problems, make mistakes, and learn from them i am grateful for yesterday's experiences i have learned one or two things about cyber-life as well as about this cyber-family negative as well as positive i regret none of it i appreciate your message, ally be assured that my 'faith' is stronger than ever your 'like a rock' cyber-sibling janet janet paterson - 51/41/37 - almonte/ontario/canada http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/ [log in to unmask]
