Alexis is free to subscribe to this list at any time.  He's also free
to read the archives at any time.  They've been at the same URL for
four and a half years.  I've announced the URL multiple times in the
WSFA Journal and multiple times in person at his house.  (Admittedly,
I haven't updated the archives in the past week, so he'd have to wait
a few days if he wants to see more than just the first 99.5% of the
list's history.)

He's also free to post whatever he wants to this list at any time even
if he doesn't subscribe.

The only reason there's any discussion here speculating on whether the
flier existed, whether it was six pages, and what it said, was because
Alexis didn't have the courtesy to act openly.  He could have posted
it here, placed in on the flier rack at Capclave, handed it to all
past and present WSFAns at Capclave, or left a stack at the RavenCon
party.  He did none of those things.  How fair is that?  How fair was
his airing malicious falsehoods against numerous WSFAns to all of
fandom in File 770 last year, knowing that due to that fanzine's low
publication rate his poison would go unrebutted for half a year?
