He sure is! Plenty of others would come forward to, but I'm the only one
ignoring Brian's stated (privately) wish not to come in to defend him. Sorry
to Brian! (I still don't understand this wish I must say. Not wanting to
subject us to the threatening emails? Wanting to try to conduct this
non-tribally? Now if the Extropians will only reciprocate!)

I know Brian appreciates your efforts. But if you - as you did elsewhere -
continue to ask for apologies from Brian without also askng for them from
Natasha, you lose a lot of credit. I understand friendship though.
Cheers,
Carl
