Fascinating. Even ignoring the bad grammar and spelling, I'm not really
sure what Mr. Pinson is talking about. "One of your members has entered
a corporate e-mail your system to cause financial harm"; what does this
mean? Is he saying that some third party has subscribed pinson@tfc.com
to the CodherPlunks mailing list?
