I will not argue whether you were humiliated as that is something only you can decide.

However, John was still factually correct. No big deal, lots of people are humiliated by facts. Although I admit I 
didn't find the quote above terribly humiliating myself. 

Also, realize that John has already done more to stop spam in his career then you and your thousand closest friends 
ever will. (E.g. Look up abuse.net.) Again not humiliation, just a fact.

Feel free to plonk me as well. I won't be humiliated. :-)
