Dear David,

Once again we have mis-communicated.  My comments to you have not been about
my opinions on the Judge material you have posted.  Aside from my initial
November 1997 post, I do not believe that I have expressed my opinions on
Judge.  Rather, my communications to you over the past several months have
all concerned issues of courtesy, protocol, and research methodology.  Since
you have not responded to these issues (except the last, to some extent)
either by an acknowledgment or change in behavior, I have, perhaps wrongly
assumed that you do not understand these matters well enough to make a
response.  But it could also be that you choose to ignore them.  Whatever
the reason, it is obvious to me that my efforts to communicate with you have
only resulted in a waste of time.

So, I believe that this ends our business, except to respond to your
persistent criticism about my comment on the Jan. 1895 letter, where I said
that all ES communications during this time frame came from England, and
that I had no record of an ES communication for the date you gave.  This is
just one more example of your not giving complete enough information upon
which to make an accurate comment.  I asked you to give a complete citing so
that we can put the document in context.  In your next communication you
cited the Nov. 1932 O.E. Literary critic as your source.  When I looked up
your reference, I found that the E.S. communication in question was actually
sent out a year later than the date you gave in your initial post.  So that
explains my confusion over the European verses the American return
address.   You give me wrong information, I give you wrong answers.  It is
that simple.

Regards
jhe
