I signed onto this list, a long time ago, to discuss and better understand his
stories. There is very little discussion that goes on. This list has
deteriorated into summary judgment and recrimination. Maybe it is time for
this list to be moderated.

What is done on this list wouldn't "pester" him? Don't be a hypocrite. Is it
worse to "pester" him spiritually or physically. I don't believe the man
himself would see too much of a difference.
