Dear Don,

Well, I suggest you start by not condemning or chastising Peter Stewart,
Leo van de Pas, Rosie Bevan, Becky T. and Phyllis, as well as
others ---- who are merely responding to the clearly errant and
malicious, libellous twaddle ---- in an apparent attempt to check
it ---- and get on with our business here ---- Mediaeval Genealogy,
History and Prosopography.

Doesn't that seem like a reasonable first step?

Frankly, I and many others here want to get on with Mediaeval Genealogy,
History and Prosopography.

Could we be allowed to do that?

Sincerely,

Spencer Hines
