Jerry, my dear friend, this is the last thing I'm going to say on this
topic, because I'm tired of it and you, and I'm sure most listmembers are
tired of at least the topic, too.

Your most serious charge, that Lou snitched on someone in a
labor-management dispute that resulted in the worker's reprimand, is at
odds with the truth, to put it gently. Lou had nothing to do with it; it
was based on the worker's postings to PEN-L, which the employer somehow
found out about. Whether your overheated imagination innocently conflated
events, or you invented this story for rhetorical purposes, is something
you may not even know, but in either case, you owe the world an apology.
But given your precedent with your slur against Juan Inigo, I'm not
expecting one.

Doug
