Dear Steve and List;

I was extremely and overly critical of your leaving UFOlogy.
First words out my mouth (or in this case, fingers) is that I
apologize for being so critical.

I was less critical of you, or of anyone who has worked hard and
done something positive in this business, than I was of this
business.  That there are some really selfish bastards, some
mean hearted, some cruel, some just plain stupid and a few
really sincere but on the wrong frequency, in this business, is
a given.  But to give in to them is a sin in my book.

Well, since your announcement, I've had my own bunch of bitter
pills to chew on before swallowing.  While I don't know what
lies ahead, I do know that I will never give in to bastards, no
matter who they may be.  In my 56 years I've NEVER given in to
those who would deny not merely truth, but their own truth, some
of which is distorted.  I merely pack my bags and go somewhere
where what I have to offer, is appreciated.

I hope that you someday change your mind.  Because when anyone
who wears a white hat gives in to the selfish bastards, the
self-serving and the just plain stupid, then they win.  And
that's a shame.

When Velez issued the challenge, I was hoping that something
would come of it.  Maybe something will, but only when the
aliens drop happy gas.  Which is why I feed them Gripple.

So, I am sorry I was critical of you.  I've learned a lot since
then.  But I will never let the bastards wear me down.  My motto
used to be "Make it happen!"  My new motto is "Illigitimum non
carborundum est!"  Loosely translated, this is pig Latin for
what I wrote above, "Don't let the bastards wear you down."

Bastards should never win, Steve.  They should lose.

With great respect, and to quote my Dylan yet again, I admire
you for "Doin' what you did and gettin' free."

Only the best,

Jim Mortellaro
