  I don't think so--your speculations were more specific than "hanging
by a thread", and also mostly wrong, as I recall. Can you document this
claim?

>How time wounds all heels. 

  I should think this would be a cause for personal concern on *your*
part, "Nasty".

  *You* don't know why, you just think you do. A good part of it
was getting the well-known net-personality Michael Ellis set up
to post from Brahms, and then defending him with some vigor when
Stephen Harnad got us *all* (including many non-flamers and even
non-posters) in trouble by writing in to complain about this
"obviously disturbed" individual (i.e. Michael, not Matthew)
being allowed net access.  Some of it was over a misunderstanding
he had about who was allowing certain self-proclaimed "Weemba
Lovers" to alter his articles by screwing them up at other sites,
which led him to commit the no-no of posting mail to the net.
This incident made me very aware of how certain people feel about
this, and of course also led the usual gang of cretins to
complain about how awful and disgusting it was that I was
following nettiquite in this matter. You seem to think that a
gaggle of pinheads of your whiny ilk constantly write and
complain, and this led to the problem. Nicht wahr.

  Your IQ and your moral standards would be two good places to
start looking.

  If by this you mean your flames lack flair, this is so. You can
always stop.
