RE: RADSAFE "Netiquette"

["Jim F. Herrold" <Herrold@UWYO.EDU>]

Mike...

And there have been three others who have e-mailed me personally saying they
too received the mystery letter. The total is six so far. The other 2,000
RADSAFERs beware. Someone must think we are an unholy lot. Mike, all I got
was three pieces of Xeroxed paper, the subject matter of which I only
scanned before deciding it was a waste of time to read. (Not to mention a
waste of paper and postage) I don't mean to insult anyone's religious
beliefs, but obviously the person who sent the letter lacked the courtesy
(or conviction) to sign their name. Don't worry, Mike, I will still use my
name, title and e-mail address on my posts. I won't hide like a Shellfish.

'Nuff said, let's get back to Radiation Safety.
