Bill, if you hadn't deleted the e-mails, you might have noticed that people were raising questions about how to use the program. The fact that you're not interested in the subject they were trying to deal with doesn't mean that other aren't. You're very mistakenly assuming that people interested in the subject are gay. Aren't you? And I suppose you think that people who are not interested in the subject are upstanding moral people. If you could see what one of those supposedly upstanding moral people wrote to me in a private e-mail you'd have second thoughts about all this.
