I am forwarding this message to the list because appearantly Sam
'forgot' to mail it to the list.
I am not at all amused.  I did not subscribe to this list for this - I
can watch the evening news for that.
Thank you.
Matthias

Matt baby,

If you are that offended by "offensive" things, perhaps you could open
a soup kitchen or homeless shelter and combat something truly
offensive. By virtue of your letter, I could call you many things
right now- or just punch you in the face.

If you want to hear something offensive, watch the evening news.

Sam
