Exactly what I posts when this mess flaired up for the first time. But
I guess that the Emily Faction didn't bother reading it, or forgot it,
or didn't give a damn.

Here it is again:

FLAME? NO!

PRIVATE E-MAIL SUPPORT? YES!

PRIVATE FLAME? NO!

PUNISH YOURSELF OVER THIS MATTER? NO!

PUNISH SOMEONE ELSE? NO!

Does everyone understand it now? Read over and over until you remember
it! _Everyone_, including Ruben and Emily! Memorise it, and then you
won't ever be at fault in someone else's _private_ business!

Exactly what I was thinking.

I really hope so, I really do.
