why did whomever respond so negatively to Dr. Oza?

You are kidding, right? It was a joke.

The point seems to be that if you complain loudly enough about something controversial, you get lots of discussion going in the comments which leads to points which leads to...whatever!

I agree with you, Marty. I would have ignored the spam letter, as I do all the others I receive.

Some of us were actually wounded non-recipients, Marty. It was indeed a silly bit of nonsense, but no sillier than the buzz it generated. In fact, I have shamelessly exploited the elusive Dr. Oza by dedicating a special group for those who were ingored by his plaintive missive. You may wish to check the group: Eshewed Babes of Dr. Oza. We are a powerful collective. Dare you.

By the way, you may wish to change your adverbial "too" that begins your second paragraph to the prepositional "to"

ah, but the point wasn't really Dr. Oza. It was someone getting bent out of shape, making inflammatory comments, and then refusing to admit she jumped the gun when it was brought to her attention. Repeatedly.

I myself, would definitely have deleted it, but not perhaps without first sending him a missive of my own, designed to make him think twice about trying to hit on me again.

Now if I can just get away from the Russian mail-order brides that keep e-mailing me for love.

Dani, is it the brides that email you for love? I thought maybe it would be the companies asking if you want to be a mail order bride, or men asking if you want to be a mail order bride.

Cheryl, thank you immensely for the constructive changes suggested. I suppose if I want to capitalize on gather points, I should address each person individually.

Oh, Cheryl, I think I will join the Eschewed Babes slighted by Dr. Oza. I'm not a babe, but heck, I might feel left out of the process.

Dani, ahh, the curse of the ambiguous nickname. Well, there also is the cultural differences in naming conventions, and the relative cost to the spammer of making a mistake by preferring to hit too many potential targets.

Kathryn, I think it is a multi-layered operation. one arm tries to find valid email addresses, one arm composes messages, one arm takes glamour shots of the women, and then there are the women themselves. Maybe there are additional tenticles. Heck, maybe even the Russian Mafia is involved in this operation.
