As I explained to more than one person, Keith, I had a previous commitment to
attend the Rutgers Alumni Leadership Conference in New Brunswick.   Yes, I'm
involved with lots of things.  SF is important to me.  It's not my whole
life, though -- by a long shot.

It's a few hours -- and totally up to you.  I thought I would make an
announcement for those who might be interested.

As well as participate in some interesting things with other interesting
people.  There are lots of interesting people in SF fandom.  There are more
outside it.

Keith,

You are a very narrow person.  So I sent a JPEG to the WSFA list.  I did so to
several other lists.  All the others took it.

You also have a reputation for making ill considered comments and giving ill
considered advice to people.  One time, instead of suggesting to someone that
they contact me with regard to a ride from the New Carrollton Metro to my
house for a party, you gave them directions for walking said route.  That was
completely irresponsible, given the nature of where I live.  When they were
unable to follow your irresponsible directions, they walked into a business
and phoned.  I was glad to run over and pick them up.  I was appalled at your
advice.

Keith, you are no longer welcome in my home.  Even at events that I advertise
to others in WSFA.
