Highly unlikely it may be, but it is nevertheless true. I posted my
original question only to seek suggestions about where and with whom to
file a complaint, not to gather moral support for my cause. I have shown
the *entire* email dialogue I had with this woman to several people, and
they unanimously agree that her final email was completely out in left
field, and completely without cause or justification. This was *not* a
slowly escalating personality conflict, it was a woman who went
positively emotionally ballistic for absolutely no reason that had
anything to do with me. Now, you're free to believe that, or not...
