one thing i learned early on from my grandmother, a UU sunday school teacher
for the better part of four decades, is that just because one might have a
*right* to do something doesn't mean that one *should* do something.

a very wise woman at times, my grandmother, and were she still alive, she'd
probably apply that lesson to this e-mail, too.

actually, i did.  and what i took away from it, as well as your subsequent
repetitious, condescending, and interminable postings, was that you appear
to have a pathological need to have the last word - and not only that, but
the last word ad nauseam.  in my experience this doesn't help make one's
point, but rather tends to lead to the intended audience simply tuning out.
 hitting the delete (or "mark as read") key, as it were.

now, i've been snippy and i've been snarky, and that isn't terribly UU of
me, i know.  (sorry, grandmother.)  and this is off-topic, despite my
attempt at mitigating it in this sentence by again referencing my UU
grandmother, who, to the best of my knowledge, was not polyamorous (or even
aware that such a thing could exist).  so i'll address any responses to this
i deem reply-worthy off-list.

cheerio my dearios,
