My "concern" was only in appearances. How things would look to an
outsider.  Any bad motives on the part of any of us was the farthest
thing from my mind.  That  includes you. I was only questioning
your judgment in writing the letter,  not your motivation. i don't think
YOU are a danger to anyone.  But to the Pynchons you are an
anonymous letter writer, even if you sign your name and include
the p-list URL.

What do Ghetta, Terrance and Robert have to do with it?
You wrote the letter.
