Gary:

Thank you for the support. I am sorry that anyone at the Radio end
even had to get involved.

However, ethically, it is no mistake to apologize to a damaged
individual, especially when one discovers that the damage explains
almost entirely their otherwise incredibly inept, insane and deranged
behavior. I have often stated that Usenet requires a dry sense of
humor within the hide of a rhinocerous. Mr. Jute has neither, and that
is beyond his control. So, if I engage with him in the future, I have
to tone down the invective as he is afflicted with at least several of
the long-term results of a stroke... which in turn cause him to be
without the usual social controls, respect for facts and the truth and
so forth:

Long-Term Effects of Stroke (abstracted):

Mood changes - these include mood swings, irritability, laughing or
crying even when you do not feel particularly happy or sad. Depression
is extremely common following a stroke, with symptoms such as loss of
appetite, insomnia, crying, low self-esteem and anxiety that can all
be signs of depression.
Cognitive difficulties - these include problems caused by damage to
areas of the brain controlling mental processes such as thinking
clearly and logically, learning, paying attention, memory, decision-
making and forward planning.
Behaviour changes - these may include being slower to react than
before the stroke, excessive caution, disorganisation, finding it
difficult to adjust to change and becoming confused or irritated.

Each day must be a struggle. My sympathies, even if the recipient
cannot accept or understand them.
