It is with regret that I must say that the controversy over this matter and
the volume of response have blown far out of proportion.  It is my
current belief that an excessive amount of mail directed at the Kitchener-
Waterloo Record can only aggravate the situation.  While I originally set
up an email drop box for letters to the Record, I must ask that people send
no more.

The letters so far have all supported me, and due to the excessive volume,
I would understand if the editors felt the batch were suspect coming from
me.  Because of this, I must ask that any who still require me to forward
their letter send a confirmation.  I regret having to ask this but I truly
feel it is the best course at this time.

If you INSIST, you can do this by replying to this message, which will
mail to rconfirm@looking.UUCP

If you do confirm, you can re-send the text of your letter, or just a
confirmation, in which case I will get it from the "record" mailbox.

You will not hear much, if anything, more from me on this subject.
Thank you all for your kind support.  I know (perhaps more than anybody, now)
how difficult it is to come out in public to defend somebody accused of
racism, or anything like it.  You are all to be applauded.
(Sorry, but mail to me on this topic will not receive a reply.)
