So, let me get this straight.  Your position is that *you* don't send 
me personal email, but that somehow the *computer* sends it to me 
automatically?  It seems to me, it's as easy as hitting "Reply" instead 
of "Reply All" -- that would solve this entire problem.

I've asked you privately, and I'll ask you publicly: Will you please 
stop sending me email?  I'm trying hard to ignore you as much as 
possible so the List doesn't get bogged down in this sort of crap, and 
you sending me email isn't helping.
