When you replied to this anonymous person did your response get bounced back?  That's happened to me.

It amazes me how some people could act so cowardly.  I too have received harassing email in the past from anonymous senders.  I recall one that read: "Two words for you, gG, F&@% YOU."  The best way to deal with this is to block their email addys, and simply not respond -- especially if they attempt to challenge you to an argument.  As the old sayings go: "The best way to win an argument is to not get involved"; also, "When you argue with a fool no one can tell the difference"; and finally, "Often, the best response is none at all."

I've also read email sent by anonymous senders that start vicious rumors.  These messages could either either ruin providers' businesses or the reputations of hobbyists.

Stuff like this really takes the fun out this hobby and unfortunately makes some people quit.  Is this fun for hobbyists or profitable for providers?  I think not.

If you believe in Karma, keep in mind that good things happen to those who do good to others.  The opposite is also true.

MP, while you may have somewhat of a tough exterior, deep down inside you're truly one of the kindest and generous people I've ever known.  To this I'm sure you're clients and many friends would attest.

I've heard from him, and tried to reply to your post on another board, but it was deleted or something.. Anyways, the email he sent to me was MUCH different, 1st, it simply said "I love you", I asked him why, he said I was beautiful, I asked if we met, he said yes, I asked where, he said he couldn't tell me, I said I had recently had a problem with a psycho stalker in my private life and unless he told me who he was, I couldn't reply to his emails anymore, and I haven't heard from him since, so I believed it was the "other" scary psycho. Maybe he was having a good couple days when he emailed me...
