  In his final message, Mr. Wells accuses me of wanting to control, rule,
and abuse despite the fact that I've been on the list since it's
beginning and have participated in a grand total of 2 flames. He says our

abused my character far more than I did to Detweiler. While weeding out
my mailbox, I ran across the following:

  Everyone else seems to be getting in their last word. That's mine.
I've temporarily unsubscribed the list for an unspecified period. I can't
keep up with this war, my classes, and my work on the Extropians list
software.
