- Willy, I can't seem to interpret this in any way other than "Willy Tamm
- thought that Jeff and Asha don't get internet connections so Willy can
- freely cast aspersions on the internet with no possible repercussions."
- Wrong on all counts. I'm really tired of you skipping over the issues
- with cutesy generalizations instead of dealing with each person on an
- individual basis. Had you bothered to read my OWN posts over the past
- 6-7 years, you'd realize how VERY wrong you are. Asha's here, too, so
- I'll let her post her own two cents, or not, her choice. Let me say only
- two last things before I CLOSE this subject: (1) One has to be pretty
- damned clueless to watch Asha's crossposting of occasional internet
- announcements and NOT conclude that maybe she happens to have access, and
- (2) I've given the "sam report" more credibility than any -12- issues of
- it deserve in the past AND recently, but, as you point out, only someone
- with a certain amount of naivette accepts a source without question, eh?
- Soon you'll be as cynical about them as most people.
