[Taxacom] GENERAL CALL TO BATTLE

[muscapaul]

Carlos,

In the view of the events in Washington D.C. on the 6th of January I cannot
say that I really applaud your choice of words, even more so when you put
them in capitals in the subject of your post [generally considered
unethical shouting in mailing lists and news groups]. Even though I may
sympathasize with the underlying cause...
