The problem is that Andrew did not come here asking for help in
resolving a problem. He came with strongly worded accusations that he
later retracted. He did the same on the Samba. These now retracted
statements can't be undone. He has dishonored himself and detracted from
this list, IMHO. He has also damaged a man who he now says did not fully
deserve it.

The choice was not between pmail and nuclear war. The fact that nuclear
war may have worked for Andrew does not justify it. There was a large
middle ground that he could have traveled across first.
