This is NOT a post to be skimmed. I want to make sure you understand that this is an email exchange in reverse chronological order. A “friend” Michael Yamnitsky send me a long racist email and I replied to it. Then he replied to my reply and I replied back. My replies are in italics. Michael’s email is yamnitskym@yahoo.com .
