You did not fire him. Maybe his boss didn't appreciate him enough to stick up for him. Maybe he'll get a better job because of it. Or maybe his boss will change his mind.
I'm sorry it all turned out this way.

The point is NOT that I was using my government email address to subscribe to a technical mail list. Nor is it that I was posting irreverent nonsense. The point is that somebody on this list copied selective posts with my government email address in the subject line and then notified the State agency in which I was employed. The archive clearly show who did this, and was a dispicable act and violation of Net ethos. Never before in 20 years of using the Internet for communication have I heard of anybody doing something like this. I signed back on to struts-user to find out what is happening with struts these days. Those of you who have known me on this list (and others, and personally) for years know that my sense of humor (or lack thereof) is abrasive, but never was any harm meant. What is next? DOS attacks on IP addresses by people who disagree with the committers? I was helping people learn struts on this list before most of the present subscribers knew Java; I have an acknowledgement in Chuck Cavaness' O'Reilly book, "Programming Struts;" I'm the one who started the [FRIDAY] humor posts, remember? Look in the archive for the subject with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in it and you can see for yourself who did this. Watch what you say and where you say it from - you could be next. It looks like I have been banned from the list; Craig says he approves. ~mark James Mitchell wrote: > You are kidding right? > > > -- > James Mitchell > Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist > Consulting / Mentoring / Freelance > EdgeTech, Inc. > http://www.edgetechservices.net/ > 678.910.8017 > AIM: jmitchtx > Yahoo: jmitchtx > MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Skype: jmitchtx > > > > On Jul 6, 2005, at 10:19 AM, Mark Galbreath wrote: > >> Thanks to whomever emailed last weeks nonsense thread to the Director >> of the Board of Elections.
