Dear Mr. Bell,

I have been informed that Kent Steadman has been accused by others on your site as being a 
perpetrator in the EQ Pegasus Signal.  I know you didn't endorse that opinion, but I wanted 
to back up Mr. Steadman's statement of innocence.  He is an honest man, and whether he is 
right or wrong, I have never seen him lie, and I only have the highest respect for his ethics.  He was merely reporting what was reported.

BTW, I must make clear as well that though I have a piece on my site critical of you from 
William Cooper (author of the excellent "Behold A Pale Horse"), I don't neccesarily endorse 
it.  I must say my opinion is that you did fake your retirement to gain popularity, and if 
you did, I wouldn't have a problem with it, since it is a move that only Orson Welles would 
dream up, who is my idol.  But I'd be happy to post any response to Mr. Cooper's slam of you.

Take care, and thanks for reading this.
