Only after Stowell, after being politely asked to leave me alone and mind his
own business twice and, when that failed, asked to fuck off, has taken up a 
notion that sending me 900-line files and threatenning to sue me was a fun
thing to do.  

Mind you, Bullough, I asked Stowell's sys admin to explain to Lon what the
acceptable ethics of e-mail use was, not to have his account or his news 
access yanked.  

I can tolerate a lot of e-mail frivolity, Bullough, but eventually I get 
fed up with idiocy.

Yet you did white to the NASA sys admin about Hampe's postings from a
public access account.  Go ahead, lie.  Tell everyone you did not.

Since you are just the sort of person to never let someone else have the last
word, especially when that word makes you look like a bozo, have a courtesy
to follow-up to alt.flame
