Just an ordinary, flaming letter (it *is* too bad that arrows have gone
out of fashion), to the not quite so lovely and charming jrl@harpo.


Mr. Liano;

In your previous missive, you stated that your little diatribes were meant
to test the capacity of the Net, and not, as you said, your personal views.
If you needed to know how quickly a posting gets through the net, you
could have checked the summary so thoughtfully posted by "seismo".
I'm sure that there are quite a few people at "harpo" who would have,
quite willingly, demonstrated electronic mail to its fullest extent.
I can also assure you that if you had posted an article without resorting to
vicious tirades, you would have received enough mail to assuage your need to
know about electronic mail.

I must surmise, then, Mr. Liano, that you are either a fool, a liar, or
someone in desperate need of psychiatric treatment.
