While it certainly is in the "rights" of the list creators, it's rather stupid to ban someone merely based on the color of their skin... Er, I mean, by the mail client they use. Not everyone has options, particularly in a corporate environment.

Your point is...? Seriously, though, Pat, it really sounds like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Relax. We're all in this together. WE DON'T NEED TO TURN THIS INTO THE GAZA STRIP!
