That's it, I'm out of this. I don't want to hear about it again, I will not
honor requests for these, and I'm pretty pissed off about the whole thing.
I'm probably already up to lose my house and all my personal possessions, for
trying to help folks out. I no longer even care if "proof" comes that it's
just OK; the lawyers have been let loose and nobody is safe.

They have already been mailed to Willard Korfhage and David Zuhn. If these
people wish to assume the risk and responsibility for distributing them, THAT
IS THEIR BUSINESS. I personally wish I could recall them right now.

Maybe the paranoia of my system admin folks is justified, if for other reasons
than they state. Good bye. I wish I could say it's been fun. . .
