    Yes, I am saying that. Because you are acting like it. I'm asking a
question, you've provided an answer, and your answer kookily (I love that
word!) conflicts with your behavior.

    All participating members of the situation, that being, active SVLUG
contributors. "Everbody" is obvious, and you're trying to take the focus
off your behavior.

    And you lost! Coincidence? I think not! You've never played any
strategy games, have you? ;) And Marc *IS* a great guy, and *IS* very
reasonable. I've met him, have you?

    "I would suggest a discussion off-list for your own sake." If you
haven't figured it out yet, what the law says is irrelevant. It's how its
interpretted that counts. I myself took what you said as a threat against
Paul's wellbeing. I'm sure any rational person would.
