Sorry to upset your personal applecart, Mark, I have never been, nor will
I ever be, Rhonda Scribner. Depending on Rhonda's decision, I will
assist her in any way I can to whatever purposes she decides. It is time
that personal battles end. You have now performed the equivalent of 
shouting 'fire' in a theater where no fire exists, except in your 
imagination. You have painted the 'fascist' picture once too often. Your
charges, as usual, are unfounded and untrue. No matter how often you repeat
them, they will never come true simply because you personally 'will' it.
I don't need any pseudos to post to usenet or anywhere else. Are you claiming
a conspiracy against you, including in such a conspiracy, the system
administrator of chinet ?


>Such intimidation
>is reprehensible.  For public access and free speech to exist, Larry,
>you have to accept that the individual, not the public access site,
>is responsible for postings.  

Best you heed your own advice. This is a forum of divergent opinion,
and is not solely your platform. I have no knowledge of the events
Larry might have been involved in, and it doesn't sound good, but still
you best heed your own advice.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast.
