Re: Yahoo! Mail Team's email to Dear Email List Manager

["David W. Tamkin" <dattier @ ripco . com>]

RR Neuswanger asked JC Dill,

| As an ill-instructed newbie I have to ask : are you
| asseverating that that address is genuine? (I.e., am I the
| only one to whom it seems to reek of trolling by some
| spammer?)

JC was able to check the full headers of the message for suspicious origin
or routing and surely would have written it off and said nothing to us if it
had not appeared genuine.

[I trust that "asseverate" is a kangaroo term for "assert".]
