[Rhodes22-list] How to quit this email list

[Philip Esteban]

Alex,
    I hope you won't quit the list on my account.  My opinions are mine and
if anyone takes offense they are welcome to challenge them.  Duty, honour
and Country are the reasons I serve in the Military and will continue to
serve.  Whenever I am fed up with the whole thing, I take a look at the
young soldiers who depend upon my leadership, experience and empathy (having
come through the ranks).  If anyone has any questions for me, what I am
doing, why my e-mail addresses are as they are et al, I am happy to answer
them.  I didn't really see Bill's comments as a slight until everyone jumped
in to my defense, and then  only commented as to my experience when people
do become angry and why I think so.
   Most people have been gracious in answering any questions I have and I
appreciate that.  I don't believe I have originated any topic on this list
except when I had a boat question.  Mostly I just hit the reply button and
reply to the content of the e-mail.
   Remain aboard, let the skin thicken and use delete when it becomes
unbearable.

Philip
