Re: [asa] Inappropriate or threatening offlist email

Hi Iain,

The same had occurred to me - I'm not sure how one would confirm or refute such potentialities.

I would suggest forwarding any such offensive / inappropriate e-mails to the group moderator(s) - only I don't know who that actually is!

Could somebody "in charge" please comment on the appropriate course of action?

Blessings,
Murray
