	J*m, you fucking liar.  You can't even get my name "wright".  I did NOT
letterbomb H*r*l.  I was mailing back his posts with questions and comments. 
One (yes ONE) went without anything except the original message (due to an
error in the edirot), for which I apologized.  In others there was so little 
information all I could write were things like "what the hell does this mean" 
in an attempt to get H*r*l to actually communicate instead of spew.
	And the only one who ever "complained" was H*r*l himself, hiding behind
"root" on the workstation he posted from.  But my boss at Wright State was more
intelligent that the fools that H*r*l thinks occupy the US.  She knew bullshit
when she saw it.  She read H*r*l's posts and laughed.

	Consider yourself warned.  One more instance of such lies and you WILL
get a call from a lawyer.  And it WILL be for more than $25k.
