Re: So Long World--A note of caution



Like everyone else, I was shocked by this posting
which was sent, not only to the Listserve, but
directly to a variety of individuals including
myself. I think Paul and Robert did the best thing
by notifying the authorities, and I only regret
that I did not act likewise when I first saw the
post. I will if a similar situation occurs in
future.

On the other hand, I strongly urge all our
subscribers not to give out their phone numbers or
any other personal information if they chose to
respond directly to a post like this. Although I
am sure that anyone doing so is acting from the
best of motives, we know virtually nothing about
the poster and his/her reasons for sending the
post. In this case, the safest course is probably
to let the authorities handle it. Please contact
me if anyone has any questions/concerns.

Thanks,
