File 770 #152 is out.  It's available at efanzines.com.

Mike Glyer, the editor, promises that no more will be published on
the WSFA situation.  For over two years, starting with #146, Alexis
had been publishing libelous letters about past and present WSFAns,
including me, in that fanzine, knowing that it would be up to half
a year before the next issue appeared, and that his libels would
therefor stand unrebutted for months.

In #151, about three months ago, Alexis had falsely claimed that WSFA
was considering suing me.  The January 4th minutes contain:

  Cathy Green needs to write a letter as club president stating that:
   * Alexis Gilliland is not a current WSFA member
   * WSFA is not considering any legal action against Keith Lynch

This was never done.  So readers of that widely read fanzine only have
Ted's and my uncorroborated denials to contrast with Alexis's claim,
unless they want to spend hours hunting randomly through WSFA's old
online meeting minutes.

I can understand why not.  Sending a short email is a lot of work,
especially in a mere 12 weeks.  It's good to know how much esteem the
club holds for me.

I now feel better about my reluctant decision to cease attending
Capclave.  I'd only been attending, and helping with, Disclave and
Capclave for over half my life, so it's not like I'll be missed
or anything.
