Give it up David... You can not recover from this by trying to make me
look like the loser. Your mail was rude, arrogant and unsolicited. It
was Spam. Any rational person knows better than to send anybody such a
message, either via email, phone, fax or carrier pigeon. And im sorry
there is no guarantee of privacy just because you sent an email. Have we
not seen enough of that already via lawsuits where "private email" was
used against companies like MS.

No, the world now sees you for what you are, and everybody else knows
that I would not publicly post a private message that was actually
solicited or welcomed by me. You are the exception because you continue
to believe in your own superiority and seem to think this kind of
behaviour is acceptable. I do not.

Nice try
Shad
