Coral-
I too recieved an abusive e-mail awhile back - over my opinion on a book, of all things. The guy called me an "uninformed idiot" and all kinds of choice words. I wasn't so upset about the letter...I just didn't feel strongly enough about the subject to argue with the guy, although I would have gladly discussed it with him in a civil way...but I couldn't figure out how he got my e-mail address from PSB. Finally I remembered
that I did it myself! I had been posting to someone who was having serious problems, considering suicide or something drastic, and I gave her my e-mail address if she wanted to write me directly. (She never did, and I forgot about it.) Well, duh! It never even occurred to me that someone might use the info to send me nasty letters. That will learn me!
