I suppose this calls for some explanation. None of this is particularly relevant to any of these newsgroups, so feel free to skip the rest of this article. I would probably ignore it altogether, but now my employer and I have both been attacked. (By the way, the company is *Thomson* Software Products. My name is Keith *Thompson*. It's not named after me. I just work here.) I did indeed send an e-mail message to dlv@bwalk.dm.com (Dr. Dimitri Vulis). In it, I asked him and several others, briefly and politely, to keep a certain discussion out of comp.lang.ada. He then sent e-mail to my postmaster, complaining that I was harassing him. I then sent e-mail to his postmaster, explaining the situation. I also told his postmaster that I have no intention of communicating with Dr. Vulis in the future. Am I a net-abuser? Am I a creep? Have I harassed anyone? Judge for yourselves, but please don't discuss it in these newsgroups. As far as I'm concerned, this matter is closed. Please let this thread die now. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst@thomsoft.com <*> TeleSoft^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Alsys^H^H^H^H^H Thomson Software Products 10251 Vista Sorrento Parkway, Suite 300, San Diego, CA, USA, 92121-2718 This sig uses the word "Exon" in violation of the Communications Decency Act.
