Where does it stop, Mr. Tom? I guess it stops with people like you
claiming that I have attacked Tom Abrahamson, for whom I have the
greatest respect, and whom I have NEVER, in any way, attacked on this
list or anywhere else.

B. D. Colen

And by the way, I never "attacked" Henry Posner either. There were a
number of people who raised questions about his using his B&H address
with this postings, as I recall. I don't remember being one of them. If
I was, I would hardly call that an "attack."
