I would say that Mr. Becker got more eloquence back than he offered in the first place. (Do you often read private correspondences in public?) -- AT THE TONE PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NET ADDRESS.

I wish to make public the fact that the private mail I returned in
response to an article was in no way offered to the public. I seriously
object to any private mail being posted to any newsgroup without the
senders permission. Certainly, the way I respond to bigots in private
has no bearing on what I wish to say publically. I certainly hope that
others will realize that none of the statements made were directed at
anybody other than the the person to whom they were directed, and the net
as a whole should have been spared.
It only proves one thing. You just cannot trust a bigot!

Frankly, Richard, there's little need to apologize for your posting to teldata!ted. Publically sending a private mail message over the net without the originator's consent, especially when keeping the mail path and signature intact, is simply reprehensible. teldata!ted obviously thought this would be a source of embarassment to you. Rather, this and his previous comments simply reflect all the more poorly on him. -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA

***************************************************** My reason for posting Mister Browers response was to protest his vile and irrational response to my posting, which I admit was not well stated but to my was not so bigoted to deserve such a response. If Mr. Brower will read my subsequent posting and the latest mail I sent to him he will find my views are not so bigoted and may even be acceptable to him.
