- Do you (or perhaps the author of that letter) know anything about

- Correct. By the way, how come you log on as 'rats' and not your
- real name, which I remember to be D Woo. At any rate, you once posted
- something blaming Jews for antisemitism since some Jews support gun
- control. I take everything you write as absurd.
