Mr Ryan's auto-responder problem ... (Re: [ltp] Plese turn off James Ryan's auto responder!)

James -

I was not part of the email or voicemail replies to you.  However,
it appears someone should reply to you.

Seems a bit strong - but if it will make you feel better ...

I hope you are better.  Actually I saw a similar incident many years
ago.  A "Boss" screaming at an employee - "... where the &%^# have
you been the last 3 days ...".  He answered "... my mother died ..."
Sometimes folks act in haste and must spend several days removing
their foot from their mouth.

Very sorry you feel that way.  I know you have been given more advise
then you want - but here is more anyway.

Both you and some people on this list made mistakes.  I doubt if it
is the first one for any party.  Relax, calm down, and don't take life
too seriously - you will never get out of it alive.

Don't leave the list - no one gains
