   Hello all,
	
 	I got the following email last week from some clown
	called C.Gilchrist last week complaining that I shouldn't be on
	the list of Irish SETI users cos he thinks that living in Belfast 
	makes me British

>To: b.nesbitt at am.qub.ac.uk, garrett at cybervalley.co.uk
>  
>     What are you two doing on the Irish list with a .uk email address. Do
>     you know that one of you is costing me a place in the top 9?  You
>     should join the British ranking.  We'll see if you are still in the
>     top 100 there.

	Politics aside, I consider myself Irish no matter what he or others
	think, but Garret replied to this asshole to get the following reply

>      I'm going to take this up with the High SETI Council first, to have
>      you disbarred for not following Internet regulations.  If that fails
>      I'm siding with the Unionist on this one to delete article 2 & 3,
>      whatever they are.  If that fails then the Irish High court is my
>      next stop.  You will not get away with this!

	Just in case you missed that last point:

> If that fails then the Irish High court is my next stop.  

	Is this guy for real ???? It's only a bit fun for god sake.

	What does every one else think, should I leave the ILUG SETI group
	or should I stay. Also anyone with less CPU time than said asshole
	let me know and I will run the SETI code under your email address to
	ensure that he stays out of the top ten :)


	PS
	Sorry for dragging politics onto the mailing list but I laughed long and hard
	when I these emails.
