Some people are so polite.

Thank you for your nice comment and help in locating the email address. I
was raised to always be polite, and as a teacher and mother, that is what I
try to instill in my students and children. To quote an American
expression: You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Have a
nice day!

In a previous article, ni...@monnet.to (Nicolas MONNET) said:
>Some people are so polite.

The first post that would be on-topic for alt.fan.mailer-daemon in months, and
it's not in a.f.m-d. Not that I blame you - it seems that my system and
various spammers are the only ones who propogate it.
