   Elsewhere, Evelyn herself totally agreed when she wrote to   
   Pete/cupcake, 25 Jul 2001:   
      
   "I only have the power you give me in your own mind."

   The morale is that is one does not give power to others over   
   one's mind and does not take what others say personally, at   
   least regarding mere words on the screen, nobody has power   
   over one. One can always give no reply or just laugh one's   
   teeth out at clumsy attempts to rile one up by mere words on   
   the screen. Everybody is protected by asynchronicity on   
   Usenet. If one cannot handle such freedom, one should not   
   be here.
