	I'm appalled at the number of people lately who have responded to
the recent flames directed at Jeff as being very entertaining, 
apparently without even knowing who Jeff is or why some people
dislike him.  
	This is a human being out there.  Do you people really feel like
posting to the entire net that you get your jollies from watching
hate mail being sent to strangers?
	I am aware that Jeff also has a great many friends on the net
(incidentally, I'm not one of them:  I know Jeff only from his
public postings).  Can you make the same claim?
