Re: Inappropriate action by your users ...
bullet bullet bullet bullet

I would like further clarification on the following statement, because I don't like or agree with the what you are implying --

"Two of your users are in our top 20 list of people who think that because the lights go out it is time to go looting. "

-- the message I responded to follows:
