Taking it off list without the other's permission is harassment and invasion
of privacy, imho.

I have to agree and support Sandra in this. Our opinions on a lot of things
are similar. On others they are far apart. In any case, I think it is
inappropriate to email anyone off-list without permission. If you stand
behind what you say, then say it to the whole list. If you think it is
off-topic, which is almost nothing here, then *ask* if that person wishes to
participate in an offlist discussion. Anonymity does not excuse disrespect.
