Certainly, I couldn't justify publicising someone's confidential
information, but I can justify making it known that someone likes to
send offensive messages when they think they can get away with it.  For
what it's worth, such offensive mail would contravene laws in some
quarters, to begin with (offensive, threats, etc.).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
