    No, I'm sorry, I don't know him. I did find a Martin Reyto on facebook, who lives in Canada judging by his posts; he looks the right age as well. I haven't contacted him, just looked at his public page.

    I'm surprised; the last adjective I'd associate with you is "acrimonious". Feel free to tell me what you want of that,, and don't feel pressured to tell me anything of course.

    If you do want to make contact with him again, but want to use me as a third party rather than confront him directly right off, I'll be happy to help.

    I was just curious, have no desire to have any contact with him, though I do at this point, wish him well... I just chalk it up to it being usenet, where needles to say, a lot of nonsense occurs... I was just curious if you knew of him or his work,
    being that you both are from Toronto and are poets...

    Well, now you got me curious. I'm going to have a look and see if I can find any of his work online.
