Again, as I told Tom, my signature is an open invite for the RIGHT kind
of people to contact me if needed. I have a business email with
pertinent info in the signature. All that is for people who want to
contact me. I just don't think that anyone should, as I said before,
know something about dating violence complaints in 2004 or other thing.
