Matthew Bell
You need to substantiate the above charges with texts. I am more than sure
that they are to be relied on more than your own colourful interpretation
of them.

Matthew Bell
Am I suppossed to be impressed or shaking in my boots because you keep
files from way back? If so, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am neither.
As for when the discussion you refer to took place I don't know the year,
only that it was fairly early on after I joined the list. 

Thanks
