Excuse me, I know there's been some heated exchanges on the list
recently, but who ever threatened anyone with bodily harm?  If Mr.
Ehrbar feels he was so threatened, he should quote the post, so we
can see if his fears are justified.

Frankly, to me this seems like another mind game.  The PCP is not
even on this list, just supporters who live in various parts of various
countries.  For Mr. Ehrbar to feel he is being directly threatenend,
not just by participants on the list, but by the PCP itself seems to
be the height of paranoid fantasy. All I can say is, Hans, get a grip!
