I would like to point out that even if the victim of this verbal assault
were a female, that would not make it ok!  I wouldn't want anyone to go on
thinking that, were the receiver of this message a woman, she might respond
favorably to this proposition.  The sender of this message, "bub" at Ames,
is clearly a demented pervert, and should be stopped from harrassing
people through the mail, regardless of whether the receiver is male
or female, single or married, or heterosexual or homosexual.

Thank you for your attention.  Now I will step down from my soapbox.
