Marc - I'm baffled by your charge
that I'm "trampling" over anyone by apologizing twice.
Spam has to do with advertising. No-one
can be fined for accidentally sending a private, non-commercial e-mail. I
understand there are people out there who cannot tolerate views different than
their own, and to those people it somehow makes sense to punish differences of
opinion, as well as blast others with personal abuse rather than talk about
the issues calmly. But thankfully the legal system doesn't work that
way.

There's an old saying about "it's easier to
get forgiveness than permission" and it seemed that's exactly what you
tried to do..
An apology is not acceptable while you continue to
trample over others after the apology. Like that makes everything OK and
no one should hold you accountable or protest?
Your message indicated
you KNEW you were SPAMMING before you hit the send button!
There can
be consequences for SPAMMING. If a lot of people fowarded your post and a
SPAM complaint to your ISP at:
http://www.ev1.net/index.html
you
could find yourself the receipient of a hefty bill as many service
providers have a no spam policy and charge upwards of $500 per violation
and disconnect of your service as you did agree
to their service policy
prior to getting connected with them.
Additionally clogging up the
internet with lines to the Florida government offices would only serve to
get the posts sent there ignored and further lower internet email
credibility to the level of trash.
I do a lot of communications with
my State of Colorado Ag Department and have had to work quite hard to
buuild a relationship with them so they will respect my emails
regarding agriculture as they get so many immediate gratification
emails like what you are pushing for.
I think you could consider the
officials of Florida ARE GOVERNED BY FLORIDA LAW - not mindless emails from
a faceless mob from out of their state they have NO legal or moral
obligation to.
They are doing their job as dictated by the Florida Law
and the Courts.
They ARE recounting and don't need millions of
emails from OUT OF STATE PEOPLE to tell them to do what THEY ARE ALREADY
DOING!!! Don't you watch the news?
Why would you tell the dog to
sit when it already is? It's not even your dog.
They are the focus
of the most intense scrutiny since Watergate and Nixon. Not even during the
impeachment investigation and pursuit of Clinton has this much
firepower been aimed at an internal USA situation.
(If anything I
think we should have a nationwide recount.)
Shame.
