Recently there have been a lot of messages back and forth in overly polite
response to an inappropriate entry on the list.

I agree with Barbara Heinisch in that it appears that this list is
unmonitored. The solution with an active monitor is banning inappropriate
postings. Telling them to "this name calling needs to stop" is an
inadequate response.

First there is the rather odd initiating message, supposedly from Bob
Zenhausern ([log in to unmask]).
Subject: Tzipporah is Alive and Well....but barely.
This message outlines details and phone numbers to call regarding a
person's personal health care. This is instrusive, at the least and at
best, smells like a hoax.

Then, the apparently fake email address of the sender, Jack Kervorkian
<Kil
[log in to unmask]> is one give-away that this person is messing around
should just be banned. The second giveaway is in the messages "Too bad that
fat retarded cripple lives."

I fully support this list as a resource and support the administrators in
banning inappropriate messages.
