I think you need to search Deja News again. I have that thread in my
files, was
looking at it just the other day. Kay certainly did quote the cited
material, in
fact it was an extremely long post. And, if memory serves me, you did
comment
about it at the time, so I am fairly sure you saw it.

As for the rest, again you are incorrect. Search again.

Todd was not the only one involved in this thread, nor is he the only
person
involved in research into this matter. Kay posted the cited material, I
think she
has every right to comment on it now.

What

No faulting involved. His mention was premature in that the article said
by him to
be "forthcoming" still hasn't appeared.

I think it just eats you up that someone else -- and not you -- may be in
contact with
Richardson, hmmm?
