[ga-abuse] second complaint about Walsh

[Joop Teernstra <terastra@terabytz.co.nz>]

The following posting is a personal attack, and is entirely untrue.
I even offered this person (Matthew Enger) the list managament.
The suggestion that Chris Streatfield (who is inferred and who paid for the 
commercial hosting) would do "whatever I wanted" is highly offensive to CS.

The allegations by Gardner are equally false. The are intended to troll for 
an angry response.

And he never apologized to that member.  Other offers for free hosting
it were also rejected.

The commercial option was chosen because it was at a place that was
associated with someone that would do whatever Joop wanted.
