Portal-ites and Non-Portal-ites,

I would just like to say that this John F. Tamburo fink speaks for nobody
but himself and has absolutely no right to act as if his voice speaks for
all of Portal.  I have notified the Sysop of Portal of this outburst (not
unwarranted but unjustified).

However, it is true (I'm told) that there are now about 15,000 users of
Portal.  Most of which never use Usenet.  But since Portal is continually
growing, the number of Usenet users from Portal will continue to grow.
I hope that Portal management and the users will be able to discount such
problems users and keep things under control.

On behalf of myself (not Portal, but I'm sure many users will agree with
me), I would like to offer an apology for fools such as John F. Tamburo.

-Infinite
