Francis should never have given her/his real e-address on a public site.
That is begging for spam and all sorts of undesirable mail. A name at the
bottom of the post is a matter of pride and consideration for the other
posters. To use "anonymous" in the from area is a poor way to use the
groups, i.e., Hello anonymous, I like your idea, thanks for the message. Hey
anonymous, you're a butt. Hi anonymous, can you help me with one more
problem?.... Excuse me!!!
FWIW, JAX
