[CALUG] Mailing List Removal

[Rick Radzville]

Jim,
Having been a lurker on this list for a couple of years, I've read many of
your posts, and you have my utmost respect. I apologize to you and everyone
else who spends valuable free time on maintaining this list for flaming
Mohamed. It was the combination of his extensive sig and the fact that it
took me literally 30 seconds to navigate to the site and figure out the
solution that inspired my response. I promise not to indulge like that
again. That's what IRC is for. :)
Rick
