About Me Common Ills We do not open attachments. Threats and abusive e-mail are not covered by any privacy rule. This is for the likes of failed comics who think they can threaten via e-mails and then whine, "E-mails are supposed to be private." E-mail threats will be turned over to the FBI and they will be noted here with the names and anything I feel like quoting. This also applies to anyone writing to complain about a friend of mine.
