The next time you speak to her (if there is a next time), I would quote her
chapter and verse on the NATS Code of Ethics (the full version can be found
on their website, www.nats.org). I imagine she'll quit bothering you.

How aggravating! >>

Dear Jana,

Thank you for your very thoughtful response. I was annoyed and somewhat
insulted by the situation, but uncertain as to whether I might be
over-reacting. I'm glad to know that others respond similarly.

I have the woman's address (I did a reverse look-up on the Internet) and am
considering writing her a letter. If so, I will cite the NATS guidelines.

Thanks again!

Judy
