Betsy,
Personally I found Marc's
comments and tone offensive. Thanks for the heads up.

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.
