So I\u2019m minding my own business the other day when this drops into my mailbox with me on the cc list. The author, one \u201cDavid L.\u201d who I do not know from Adam, is apparently arguing with some other rad trad, who has arraigned somebody named \u201cHoward\u201d for the grave sin of knowing somebody named \u201cMark Shea\u201d. David writes to assure him that the Mark Shea he knows is not, God forbid, me. To prove it, he cc\u2019s the other Mark Shea and then includes me on the cc list, so that Franco the Grand Inquisitor will be satisfied:<\/p>\n

Franco you\u2019re zeal is commendable, but I already had the talk with them, and
they assured me it\u2019s not the same Mark Shea. The Mark Shea you wish to
denounce has the following email address: chez.ami@verizon.net, which is not
the email address you have just denounced.<\/p>\n

To the apostate Mark Shea who adheres to the Vatican II false religion: *SHAME
ON YOU FOR GIVING YOUR NAME A BAD NAME!!!*<\/p>\n
