In a quick search, I haven't been able to find a mail from him which uses the term "OK", prior to the quoted one which is responding to your use of that term. He did say (in close paraphrase) that there are circumstances in which silently deleting received mails can be barely acceptable. That's a far cry from saying that it's "OK", either in the modern colloquial sense or in the literal original sense of "all correct". >>> I said NOTHING about security.

What is the non-security-related reason why you don't want them to know what the valid E-mail addresses are? I suspect that the reason is something which Tanstaafl would classify as falling under "security purposes". Even if you don't come to agreement on whether that reason is a security reason, it might still be easier to "agree to disagree" if there's a clear understanding about exactly what you're disagreeing over, rather than just conflicting assertions about some consequence of that underlying point. >>>> Please explain what is *Seriously Fraudulent* or *otherwise >>>> inappropriate* about a typo in the recipient address of an >>>> otherwise perfectly legitimate email, Jerry. >> >>> How many valid emails do you get to a bad email address? >> >> Please answer the question. > > Any email to a bad email address is fraudulent and/or inappropriate. That's just repeating the assertion, not answering the question. It does not provide the requested explanation. What is fraudulent about a typo? What is inappropriate about a typo? -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
