Subject: please ignore Dhesi

A couple of months ago, Rahul Dhesi did this same thing to the membership
of the header-people mailing list (the discussion group for RFC-822 email
implementors), which was once gatewayed to the comp.mail.headers mailing
list. 

After several weeks of his bullying, the gateway between header-people and
comp.mail.headers was broken in order to permit the normal business of
header-people to resume.  Dhesi is also expressly uninvited from
header-people. 

Is Dhesi now attempting to shut down the pine-info mailing list's gateway
with comp.mail.pine?  It is plain to see that Brian Tao did a normal
mailing list reply.  Brian did nothing to deserve this treatment.

Aside:

The attached email was unsoliciated, since I posted to Usenet and did
not send any email.  If I now reply to it (as I'm doing now), will I be
accused of sending abusive email?

(I will address the actual issue in comp.mail.pine.)
