I, Michael Arthur, am not trying to threaten anyone.  Ralph Mariano simply
asked me to post a message to attempt to get Greg Lindahl to stop "tampering"
with ST Report's content.

Here is part of what you posted:

indeed

For some time, Greg has relayed ST Report to a mailing list as a volunteer
effort, without any personal gain, as a favor to people who wanted to read
it.  What have you done for the benefit of the network?  You have issued
threats.

You are not only threatening Greg.

You also are threatening the NSF Internet, its associated networks, and
all the individual UUCP sites through which ST Report might be
transmitted.  How else am I to interpret it?

Thanks a lot for doing your bit for unity, harmony and gracious behavior.

I did not mean to imply what you are saying, and if I did, I apologize
sincerely to both you, and all of the sites which may possibly have carried ST
REport.

Ralph Mariano said that such actions would only be aimed at Greg Lindahl and
possbibly UVA, if and only if Mr. Lindahl didn't stop changing ST Report to
suit his own style of thinking.

Neither I, or Ralph Mariano are making threats against anyone.  Ralph Mariano
is saying that Greg Lindahl doesn't have the right to edit ST Report, since he
doesn't make it, and is violating the copyright laws....

I will next post what Ralph Mariano has said in this week's issue of ST
Reoprt, in order to COMPLETELY clear up whatever misconceptions there are
about what he said....
