Don't feel bad, Ali, I got a similar kind of note (minus the bin Laden
references) from the same person this evening, and I'm as generic an
American as they come (my last name happens to be English). I sent a note
back to him pointing out his rudeness and asking him not to do it again. I
also Cc'ed it to balsa-list-admin. My sincere sympathies - I wish we didn't
have to deal with such, but there you go.

And if all else fails, I have a .procmailrc and I know how to use it...
