- As an Australian, who doesn't really care which yank shot which bloody
- president, I thought Rev P-K's idea was a good one, so I decided to track
- down the posters of the first message on each JFK thread.
- To my horror, I found that a fellow Aussie, a certain Derek Abbott of
- Adelaide University, was responsible for them *all*!
- Anyway, I sent off a polite note to Derek and hopefully he won't
- crosspost JFK stuff to sci.skeptic anymore.
