OP here. I just left it alone, and didn't reply. But if I was gutsy, I would have done the above. That is just awesome. Thanks for all who weighed in.

Love it. I so agree; this is what I'd do.



Oh man! Is that a real quote? OP, if so, you MUST DO IT.

God, why do YOU care that she cares? Just close the thread and move on; don't bother posting.

Well, she obviously thinks very highly of herself but not of her former colleagues. If you aren't going to miss her regardless of the tacky quote, don't email a reply. Her email doesn't require one.
