Frank, 

I have been watching your replies to various list members, for some time now. 
In my opinion, you are beginning to RANT. This is a classic sign of a fanatic 
personality disorder. It is abundantly clear that there is no room for give 
and take in any conversation with you. An unvarying, obsessive return, to the 
same old perceptions of "Theosophy a' la' Frank Reitemeyer," has become quite 
tedious and boring. As I have no wish to enter such a one sided, 
unenlightening conversation with you or anyone, for that matter. I herby 
concede to you the right to RANT ad infinitum. However it will be without my 
attention, for I will exercise my right to use the delete button every time I 
see a message bearing your name.

Have fun,

Louis
