[PEN-L:11816] Re: ups and the need for a pen-l web site

[Stephen E Philion <philion@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

Michael is, in my book providing a valuable service in a responsible
fahion.  For those who do not wish to look at his messages, it should take
no more than a milisecond to delete his messages.  Surely there are more
important things to get worked up over than Michael's posting
*informative* articles about the UPS workers' strike, like, say, the
strike itself?

Thank you Michael for the time spent sending off posts on the strike.

My two cents worth

Steve
