The morning following my post, the anonymous wake-up-caller called again, 
at a reasonable hour, and apologized (to my answering machine) for his 
call, which he admitted was to the wrong poster, and which he attributed 
to his anger.

I agree that these newsgroup would not have been, in different 
circumstances, appropriate places for my message to him. However, I had 
no clue as to his identity, other than that he read alt.recovery, and I 
felt it important at the time to get my anger off my chest.

Both of us over/mis-reacted. I consider the issue to be finished now.
