Think there is no doubt that the Oklahoma Bombing was a terrible
thing, but your mail is not a matter of ethik rather than a matter of
ignoring what this list was created for: discussing alt-photo-process
related topics.
And what do you mean with 'no discussion on list base please ...'?
Does it mean that only you are allowed to send OT mails like that
to the list but nobody else?

Howdy Folks,
I have been giving this some thought and decided I'd like to kick this
around some with the rest of the Nation. I'd like to start with you and
anyone you would like to share this thought with.
It doesn't take much to know that the bombing of the Federal Building in
Oklahoma City is sad and frightening and sick and demented and all the
other upsetting emotional feelings we as a people know to be true. It's
frustrating and gives us all a feeling of helplessness.
We are not helpless. I say we should ask every News Paper and TV news
and documentary maker to voluntarily omit this man's name from all
discussions and news articles. I would like to ask the Federal
Government to strike this man's name from all records. Social Security,
Tax, FBI files. I would like to start a campaign to make this man a NON
PERSON. Call him the Oklahoma Bomber or give him a number but lets never
say his name again.
Now I'm not silly enough to think this event will not be spoken of. It
is a major tragedy for our nation and especially for the thousands of
relatives of the people killed. What do you say that we all just never
say this man's name again. Never print it and never show his picture.
If this man believes he is a martyr and is willing to go to his death
proudly then lets really kill him rather than just execute him. Lets
kill his name and his existence. Lets take that from him. His actions
were partly driven by his knowing he would be famous and he would get
his twisted thoughts out where all of us would have to listen to his
insane ranting. Just executing his body isn't enough. Lets execute him.
I also think that if we do this together as a Nation, the next guy will
have less motivation to make the news in such a manner.
Please pass this on to the local news papers and the local TV news in
your area and ask that he never be mentioned by name again.
Here is an email chain letter I'd love to see make the rounds.
Thanks for listening to my rant,
Samdodge
