Chip,
That was very untrue, and very unkind of you to say.
I'm not bullying anyone for anything, and I expect a public appology
for the comments you made in this last email. I'm honestly tired of
the unkind attitudes on this list. You don't even know what you are
talking about. How dare you accuse Ferguson Enterprises of bullying
anyone to get something for free! I can't believe you are so unkind.

Pat,
the weird atitude is yours. Just because the charge isn't obvious
doesn't mean it's not there; you shouldn't pretend you aren't charging;
you are, in the price of everything you sell, it's called over-head and
you know it.
The same is true about GW and this list; operating it is over-head for
them as well. No one, neither you nor them, is doing it for free; don't
pretend you are in order to bully others into doing something you want
done for free.
