Norbert and List,
I for one am in full support of you and your efforts to rectify a problem
with a person who is not only extremely self-serving but boorish and
uncouth as well. Some members of this list often stand in defence of Steve
Arnold (Chicago) but I'm quite sure they haven't been the recipients of any
of his nasty and threatening private emails.

As you have seen in many of the replies to your original email, most
Americans do not share Steve's beliefs about national laws and policies. He
is merely showing his true colors which are definitely not red, white and blue.

To go into great detail would be a waste of my time, but anyone who wishes
to search the archives can find several of the blunders committed by Mr.
Arnold himself. Off hand, I can remember Ebay auctions with the wrong
pictures and/or wrong weights of specimens. His flap with Matteo is a good
example. In most of these instances, Steve simple went to ground for a
while until things blew over. He would like everyone to dismiss his errors
as "honest mistakes" and forget about the issue.

So, forget about his butchery of the English language, the blurry pictures
and the non-stop bragging attempting to impress everyone. Just remember he
has a different side to him that many of you haven't witnessed personally
like Norbert has.

And finally to Steve.

I will no longer tutor you in proper behavior by suggesting ways for you to
get yourself out of the jams you are constantly stuck in. From now on, and
for the better good of honest and respectable list members, I reserve the
right to post to this list any email you send to me personally so that
members of this list can see you for what you really are.

With all due respect to those who are deserving,

John Gwilliam
