- Did Ms. Garvin receive any unsolicited e-mail as a result

-
- I think Ms. Garvin reported it as a 'forgery', not as a 'glitch'.
- You seem to be manufacturing excuses for Susan Garvin's behavior.

-
- I don't believe that Mr. Chaney has complained about Susan Garvin's
- attempts to have him punished. I'm merely pointing out that Ms. Garvin
- appears eager to have Mr. Chaney punished for a harmless joke.

-
- Just as there are stupid laws, there are stupid rules. Ms. Garvin
- relied upon a stupid rule in her attempt to punish Steve Chaney.
