Obvious points don't need evidence generally.. Necessitating it is
political slipperiness and discussion grandstanding that we don't need
on the list!

Do you seriously believe I would bother to try to send you three
copies of an email? Do you  suggest your clients are being "offensive"
too? You've got some issues I can't even speculate about.

My killfile comment was about your email address. Your latest comments
about my "silly email actions" were the nail in the coffin for you I'm
afraid.

Fortunately I won't see any further emails from you now I've got my
killfile setup. There's no need to reply as I won't see it, your mail
will go straight in the bin folder.
