Geoffrey, what the fuck is going on with *you?*  Iva made her post 11 days
ago (March 15/98).  While the subject might be better posted in
torfree.help than in torfree.general, I don't see a *huge* problem with
her posting it here.  Why bring up such a venomous response now??  I 
don't get it.

You say she's demanding the "resources of others"  by posting her inquiry;
however, no one's holding a gun to your head to repond, if that's the way
you feel. 

If you have been pulled into this issue in some other way, perhaps you
could fill us all in on why. 

You then go on to cite a very long-ago issue which has nothing to do with
her current post (that of her criticism of a former tenant of hers).  Why
bring this up here and how?  If this issue is unresolved for you and you
need to continue to rehash it with her, surely you don't need the excuse
of her question about faulty computer equipment to raise the issue? 

I have no idea who Jason Aaron Black is or Marc "the inbred" or why they 
are relevant to Iva's post.  If these things are connected in your mind, 
perhaps you could share with the rest of us just what the connections 
are, instead of posting a cryptic flame.
