	Thank you for your research.  You are missing the point on one
issue, however.  I NEVER STATED in any Usenet article that I or my
organization had any "government affiliation".  I certainly never made
the statement in email to some asshole at UCB, which was the next variation
on Ms. Skyler's claim.
	A little common sense dictates that if such an allegation were fact,
I would certainly not make such a statement on the Net or in email to a
hostile party (the asshole in question).
	I don't care if people want to "speculate" in this matter; I just
don't wish to be attributed with making a statement which in fact I did not
make, thank you.
