If someone is causing damage, I have a duty to mitigate, but I didn't think that putting my hands over my ears did much in the way of that. I still don't. I could have blocked the sender after the first email. I didn't respond to the first one other than to confirm the sender's intent. I don't know. This is a bogus deal, but it's not bogus in that it hurt me, it's bogus in that it pissed me off. I'm minding my own business, and then suddenly I'm pissed off. I've spent significant energy being pissed off about this. It's a big waste of time to be pissed off, but regarding this issue, I don't know if I have much of a choice. How deeply would you be pissed off if someone insulted Ron Arad? bruce
