         Sloths over Ethiopia Spreads Misery Across The Nation:  Part 2

  Without meaning to cause such a furor, Sloths over Ethiopia mass-mailed over
  500 individuals the initial issue of SoE (the famous Armour Potted Meat Food
  Product issue.)  What resulted was a flurry of bitter individuals, demanding
  explanations and removals from mailing lists, often carelessly responding to
  the entire initial recipient list.  We then include below Part 2 of the best
  of the "hate mail" that was sent to SoE, with editor comments in [brackets].

   Where did you get my email address?  What have I done to you to deserve
  this harrassment?

  Take me off your list.

  [ harassment (yeah, they spelled it wrong) -- noun form of:
    harass -- 1. to worry and impede by repeated raids (heehee);
              2. to annoy continually (okay, i think they that he/she got us
                 there. but only kind of.)

    but e-mail raids.  i like the idea!!  must try sometime!!! ]
