Yes. They do e-mail him in private. These e-mails show very strong
support for the Brine-Boy.
I believe at last count, the lurkers were sending on average 272.5 e-mails
per DAY.
I know this because for about a week and a half, my newsreader had somehow
automatically hacked into kent's e-mail account and all of his e-mails were
also forewarded to me.
That was the worst week and a half of my life.
Fortunately, I didn't read enough of them to find out who these "others"
were. My eyes were wounded enough from reading the few that I did read.
