It's good to see you write that!  I gather you've decided to post a retraction
in net.auto regarding your libel of someone in that newsgroup?  That was
*not* net.flame, you know.

Now that *was* a flame, David!  Much better on that score!

As to what level your flame was on, I think the readers can easily
tell for themselves.  Somehow I don't think you did your side of
the argument much good.  Your insistence in attaching the reputation
of your organization to your personal reputation just might not be
doing the reputation of your organization any good, either.

PS:  Do you really think people all over North America are interested in this?
