Patrick Ellul asks: "Is there anyone else who is game enough to put his real identity behind this?"
I think what would include most anyone on this list, except Mary, and perhaps Cude. To hide behind the veil of anonymity on a discussion group such as this is cowardly. I have followed vortex-l since the 90s, and can't remember any dispute between contributors which might have caused one to be fearful of 'retaliation'; perhaps some of the real ol-timers could provide further comment. At the worst, you'd have to buy everyone a round of drinks at the dime box saloon. real dangerous indeed! ;-) -Mark
