"AllCreatures" (this person did not sign his/her post) sent a post to the list that began as follows: <<<<<<Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 02:09:18 EDT From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Bear-misunderstood post In response this post: Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 12:01:13 -0700 From: Lynda Bryson <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Nature and cruelty <<You know, for some one who is so upset at the idea that you must kill meat in order to eat it, you may be happier taking your delicate sensibilities elsewhere...>> <snip> I didn't write the above quote, nor did I write the following quotes which "AllCreatures" also commented on as if I'd written them: <<Must you post the same thing three seperate times? Is this to give the impression of an outcry of protest?? Do you know where you are? >> <snip> <<The term "PETA plant" pops to mind.>> <snip> By including the header from my E-mail it appears I wrote all of the quotes to which "AllCreatures" responded, when in fact the above listed quotes were written by other list members and included in my "Nature and cruelty" post as reference points for my response. It would help to avoid any misunderstandings about who wrote what if in the future "AllCreatures" would use the netiquete practice of omitting the E-mail header on a message that includes quotes from other subscribers in order to comment on each quote.
