Sigh.  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.
