Sending Headlines The Hard Way

So, the Little Sister, who's 6'0", wrote the Mean Sister, who's 5'6", the other day:
I don't have the links, but you may want to forward these to [basil].

[The Little Sister, who's 6'0"]

So, the Mean Sister (who's 5'6") wrote me:
[The Little Sister, who's 6'0"] sent these to send to you. They are from an internet site. Maybe she will want to post???

Then I wrote back:
Hmmm. She has a guest author account. And my e-mail address (it's on the site). And she sends it to you. Hmmm.

I'll post if she wants, rather than her posting them. But if I post, it's at her peril. If she posts, she has control over what is said. Heh-heh-heh.

And the Mean Sister (who's 5'6:) wrote back:
YOU post it, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That�ll teach her.

[The Mean Sister, who's 5'6"]

So, I'm going to post the stuff the Little Sister (who's 6'0") sent to the Mean Sister (who's 5'6") instead of to me. But darned if I can figure out why she doesn't post them herself. Or send them to me.

Maybe she's scared of me. She shouldn't be.

Yet.
