John, my list-comrade, if you don't have an 'S' on your end, you should
probably seek medical help...

Uh, John... before you start blowing folks away, (*JOKE*) you might want
to
consider something...

First of all, you e-mail address is "jatkins6" and some e-mail software
packages automatically head up a quote with things like:

"At 10:04 PM 9/30/98 -0500, jatkins6 wrote:"

After a couple of rounds of attribution, or someone just giving your
e-mail
address a casual glance, this would be a very simple mistake to make.

Just a thought.
