Does the world need us?

[Patrick Foley]

Paul,

Why can't you answer in your own words and clear all this up? What is going on
here? What email aliases have you used? Who sent out the yellow post card? Whom
do you suspect? Beyond your carefully nuanced admissions, is there anything else
an honest person would want to tell the people he hopes to communicate with?
Should I just give up trying to communicate with you?
