I'm really at a loss how to respond to this lunatic. I hope the following doesn't just stoke his boilers more, but on a worldwide public forum I don't think I can let something like that go unanswered. Anybody out there with good advice (legal, tactical, or otherwise), I'd greatly appreciate it.

Why Mr. Detweiler, that's mighty flattering of you! I'd be even more flattered by Detweiler's singling me out, if he wasn't also making death threats and accusations of criminal violations against several people who have recently disagreed with him, trying to track down our physical locations, and otherwise doing his best to scare the shit out of net users with his digital stalking. No, Mr. Detweiler, I'm not "pseudospoofing", but with nutcases like you on the net I sure as hell wish I was. Nick Szabo szabo@netcom.com
