Considering the original message was posted to pretty much all of the tasteless groups (as well as at least one alt.flame.* group), I'd say that the tasteless nonsense that you deleted was actually rather fitting. I'd agree that he's entitled to post his opinion, but as for being entitled to not having tasteless nonsense directed at him, he might want to pay more attention to WHERE he posts his opinion. Though I don't really think QUARK's response came as much of a surprise to him. TheoBromine "Wherever you go, mbowen@ucsd.edu there you are."
