Ken, I think that any sort of a response at all is a pay-off for the
emailer.  He will know he got to you.

There was a story on "This American Life" a long time ago, about a
crazy person who walked through a group of people saying "you can
stay," and "you have to go." The people he said "you can stay" to felt
good. The people he said "you've got to go" to felt lousy. It didn't
matter that his opinion of them didn't matter. We're programmed that
way, I guess.

You've got to tell yourself this was a crazy person (jerk, creep,
whatever) and listen to Ron Salmon, who has actually seen you.

And remember John 3:16.

Mark
