Course I'm a lot younger than you, I'm only 16 (birthday was on the 29th
last) and don't remember none of that Vax e-mail stuff. My first
computer was a Tandy TRS-80 Model I. But anyone sending e-mail into my
inbox is doing that to me, private-like. Like coming into my home. I
don't do forcing and entering and don't expect it from others. If others
do that last, I don't take kindly to it, I give 'em the old heave-ho. I
respect all them as uses my front door knocker, not them what bursts
through the back one. P'ed off isn't the word.
