If someone has taken a private email address from a public posting and used it to 
abuse the private individual concerned, they have already put themselves outside 
the rules - and hence in my view the protection - of "netiquette". In doing so, they 
are merely hiding behind the "privacy" of email as opposed to a mailing list in 
order to perpetrate their abuse.

I don't accept this kind of behaviour in /any/ group of people. I don't think anybody 
else should have to either. It upsets me to think that anyone should feel that they 
have to unsubscribe to avoid abuse, and it diminishes us all to let it happen.

However, the judgement must be Andrews in this case.
