[WikiEN-l] Re: Hi! :-)

[Ray Saintonge]

I received received it 3 times at about 06:26.  Once from the same 
redgum46 that Sheldon mentions, once fro jwrosenzweig (to whom I have 
not had the occasion to respond) and once from the wikien-l mailing 
list.  It sounds as though our spoofers have been playing with the 
mailing list.  I usually try to pull myself away from the computer so 
that I can be in bed by 03:00 right after "Les chiffres et les lettres" 
on TV5.

It's so shameful to see these terrible people trying to drive a wedge 
between us. :-[
