Although I rarely am able to read .activism et al, and no one CC'd me,
I just happened to be "in the neighborhood" to read these. While
followups should go by email to myself/jym,

In light of Brett's threats to sue Jym, I would like to state that I
would be all too happy to testify that Brett Kottmann's "mailing back
[my] posts with questions and comments" and "not"
electronic-letter-bombing me:

	(*) included more than  (unfortunately I did not save all) 28 emails,
	over two days (Feb. 10 and Feb 11, 1991) 

	(*) the average length of the "replies" included with the
	entire article/news-release/human-rights-report which I had
	posted (many over 100 lines in length) by Brett was about 3
	lines -- perhaps the reason that in all 28 cases the "replied"
	instead of quoting the paragraph(s) they were "replying" to
	quoted the entire, often multi-100-line article/report, was
	becuase they had very little to do with replying and
	everything to do with venteen spleen, flamage, and email
	letter bombs.

Moreover,

In response to:

	    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.

I am sure the system operator would be also glad to testify -- when Mr.
Kottmann indignantly sues Jym for speaking the truth (well, better than
dis-emboweling the editors of the newspapers or murdering Jesuits the
U.S.-style "demodracies" like El Salvador) -- that he indeed sent the
system-operator message to Brett, not someone named Harel who did not
have, and never had, root/sysop-access at Dartmouth.

	    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.

        J*m, you poor fool.  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 editor), 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.  If he was upset at the volume,
then he should have considered what he was costing the net in posting
3000 line messages.

        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
