I misquoted mss1@cornell.edu (Michael S. Shappe) as saying something
that Tim Freeman <tsf@cs.cmu.edu> said that started off this current flamefest.

My apologies to Mr. Shappe for this terrible, horrible misattribution.

My continued `venemosities' to TF for calling the most altruistic,
selfless, hardworking people on all the Net motivated by `covetousness and envy'...
