It's not where RS got Rhonda's address that's important. It's what he
does with it. This particular problem with RS (there are a host of
others) is that he has habitually responded with ugly to vicious
private emails to people who have had the gall to disagree with his
transcendental visions. It is quite likely that all of us who post
with any regularity will draw critical public responses to something
of what we write. That's an expected and normal part of the give and
take. What is not normal (nor expected) is to find that your private
email box has suddenly been filled with RS garbage.
I don't like it when posters go off the deep end in the public forum
and substitute name-calling for discussion as all too often happens.
The latest business about moderation level on this list, I think, was
a result of a multiple-headed thread that began when a list member
called me an "idiot." A number of posters responded to the offender
(I thank you all for your defense), and the thread from hell ensued.
My response was to remain silent. It's always seemed to me to be
counter productive to get into these matters, even when you have your
very own, personal dog in the fight.
History argues rather clearly that RS will abuse those who fall under
his sights on both the public and private levels. Rhonda's experience
should serve as a clarion warning.

If true, that is unfortunate. But RS could have had your email
address at
any time by lurking or even participating under various aliases, as
many
here assume he has for quite some time. Better to let him
participate useing
his own name, for a change. <g>
And remember, he will be fully moderated if and when he
participates. I'd be
