I have spoken with the National Office of the National Alliance, and they
said they are "investigating the matter."

My comrades on the Net are investigating this matter as well.  As I have
said, I do not approve of such distribution techniques.  We have nothing
to hide, and do not need to send out anonymous mailings or postings of any
kind.  Further, forging headers reflects badly on the National Alliance,
and could and should be classed as an expulsion offense.

Some of you will not believe me sincere in my efforts to identify, and
sanction, the offender, but that is another issue.  If I find out who this
"Crusader" dude is, or where he is, I shall post the information.

Further, I am certain beyond doubt that Robert Miller (Trebor Lee), the
owner of our FTP site at Netcom, is NOT "Crusader."  Mainly, for the
simple reason, he and I cooperate on various matters, and he is well aware
of my Alliance membership.  I have received three "Crusader" messages to
three of my accounts (HERMANN, bb748, ag264).  No Alliance member who had
authorization from the National Office would bother hitting me with
Alliance material.

It may also interest you to know (the censorship-minded among the readers of
this group will rejoice) that the NA Website, http://www.natvan.com, is
off-line for an unknown reason.  We believe someone is "retaliating" for
the "Crusader" actions.

If anyone has questions about this matter, please feel free to contact me
as a representative for the National Alliance.
