   > >>>> GJD: Liar, Liar, Liar ... first you claimed that I had "submitted" the   
   poems of mine you used in /Another Year of Stealing/. That was a lie. When   
   challenged, you claimed that I had given you "permission in writing." That was   
   also a lie. When    
   challenged on that, you coughed up some "emails" which showed that both were   
   lies; that in fact you had selected the poems yourself without asking me. You   
   can froth and tizzy all you want, but that is not going to make those facts go   
   away.
