Frank,

After I posted my message (in haste), I read another message in which
you did seem to know who posted the message, and I felt terrible.

Using Netscape 3.0 through InfiNet does not provide any "kill"
capability; if it did, I would have cancelled my posting.

I apologize to all that I may have offended.

Incidentally, I am proud to be one of the people for whom the term
"feminazi" was invented, but I do not use this term myself due to the
"nazi" part of the name.
