Sounds like slander to me.... You just insulted a well respected member of
this this list that has no incentive to slander you.  It will become public
information just like all posts and will be searchable via several search
engines.  If I was Carrie,  I'd call my lawyer and he would call you ... or
just file... depends on my mood....

I am forwarding this to your provider abuse@xxxxxxxxxx and I encourage
others to do the same...
I have no tolerance for spammers
