Anya,

This might surprise you but I agree with you that people should not use 
anonymous e-mail accounts, in the end I feel they do more harm than 
good.  But unless you have specific information as to who the posters are 
and that they are connected to Master Tarl's household, I think you have 
stepped over the line.  I have checked back and can find no postings to 
this list that indicate who these people are or that they are connected in 
any way to Master Tarl.  Your post shows that you obviously have a personal 
problem with Master Tarl and are now carrying out a campaign of smearing 
him by association.  I believe that you either need to publicly post your 
proof or publicly post him an apology.  It is this very kind of behavior 
that you condemned earlier in you same post, yet you are guilty of it just 
a paragraph later.

Sir Burke
