I know what you mean.  It seems that as the net proliferates, netiquette is

falling by the wayside.  Evidence is the amount of misdirected unsubscribes,

threats of prosecution for unwanted emails (that one was pretty funny), and

general dunderheads who make net life a bit less pleasant for the rest of

us.  Seems people will say anything in an email without any regard for tact

or politeness.  I think it is a similar phenomenon to "Woad Wage" (road

rage), that seems to be getting worse as the number of people travelling our

highways continues to increase at a faster rate than the capacity of said

highways.
