I may have just done a bad thing.
A friend of mine who use to be very conservative, but with a lot of work is now voting Kerry, sent out a pro Kerry email over the weekend to a group of people. I just received a "reply to all" email from one of the people on his list attacking Kerry.
Without stopping to think about it I put together a long attack on bush's record & hit reply to all.
I have never been one to do this, but as I said in the email, this is too important to leave alone.

1. That's not a bad thing at all
If someone sends you their opinion in a "reply to all" message which is unsolicited, you have the right to respond with your own opinion.

Don't worry about it. You did the right thing, IMHO.

8. I sent the letter in this link.
Stating I could not verify who wrote it but what is said in the letter is what is important. I also included some polite replies to comments that person made.

6. Good for you...
But be prepared to change your email address when they repubs start signing you up for all kinds of useless spam.

Disposeable email addresses... aah...

9. ALWAYS hit "reply all".
It's a great way to make new friends and enemies.
Some of the replies from people you never heard of can be very revealing.

11. "Reply all" is your friend.
I did this myself a while back and it opened my eyes.
