None that was discussed at my house.  And I haven't heard any gossip to that
effect either.

Subject: [WSFA] Alexis claims WSFA is considering legal action against me

Issue 151 of File 770 was placed online two days ago.  In it, there's
a letter from Alexis Gilliland, which says, in part:

  Martin Morse Wooster has taken it upon himself to be your
  correspondent in resident on the subject of WSFA, even though my
  sources tell me he hasn't been to a WSFA meeting for quite some time.
  I don't doubt that he is quoting what Keith said on Keith's so-called
  WSFA list, but if Martin had taken the trouble to check his facts, he
  would have learned that Keith is not currently a member of WSFA, and
  that the club is considering legal action to make him stop using WSFA
  in the name of his list.

So, is there any truth to his claim that WSFA is considering legal
action against me for not shutting down this list?  Or for not
changing its name, even though it is, as always, only for past and
present WSFA members?  If so, I've received no notice, nor even any
informal request.

I can't check recent meeting minutes for discussion of such action,
as none of them since August of last year are online.

I continue to maintain this list since many past and present WSFA
members refuse to subscribe to any Yahoogroups list, for various
reasons.  This list still gets plenty of use.  A few months ago
Ted told me it gets more use than the official Yahoogroups list.

If WSFA were to switch to almost anything other than Yahoogroups, I
think everyone would be pleased, and I could merge this list into it.
Then people wouldn't have to either choose one list or the other, or
subscribe to both and put up with seeing many messages twice.

As for the mention of Martin, in the previous issue, six months
ago, he had a letter in which he claimed I had rejoined WSFA.  I
immediately sent File 770 a correction, which appears in the current
issue.  I have no idea where Martin got the idea I had rejoined WSFA,
as I never claimed I had, nor have I attended any meetings since I
resigned in 2005.  I certainly didn't post any such statement on this
list, as Alexis claims.

I am not at all pleased that more than two years after I left the club
to make the abuse stop, Alexis is still sniping at me.  What does he
want of me?
