Mark Ethan Smith has not yet replied to my demand last week for either
the names of the "woman hating" programmers working at UCB computer
center or a retraction of his/her accusation. (Smith's account,
era1987@violet, has been logged in several times since my message
appeared in news.)  Smith also claimed that woman haters here have
maliciously tampered with news software, another serious charge.

No society needs groundless attacks on anyone's character.
