Feel free.  In fact, I have no objection to anyone making any letter from me
public, whatever the subject.

This is the first time Gene has ever taken standards of politeness into
account, which should raise some suspicions.  Rightly so: there are no
fabrications in my messages, and it would hardly serve Gene's vendetta to
make that known.  He has attempted to discredit my true statement, that he
and Wiener between them posted anti-Maroney messages with roughly daily
frequency, by misconstruing it to say I claimed that Gene personally wrote
daily messages.  This is just one in a long sequence of self-serving
untruths, of which the most extreme was claiming that my complaints were
based on the epithet "Captain Carnage".

I would like to particularly thank Rhonda Scribner, James Wilbur Lewis,
Laura Creighton, and John Gilmore for countering Smith's falsehoods and
distortions in pursuit of his vendetta.  My greatest thanks, without
denigrating anyone's contribution, go to Rhonda.
