   Excellent.

   Exactly.

   > >>   
   > >> The covers do not match.   
      
   Yes, they do.   
      
   > >> We don't see a blue cover either on our (new) computer screen.  It is   
   more of a grayish tan.   
      
   Then perhaps you should adjust your monitor.   
      
   The cover of Pegasus is clearly light blue on my screen.   
      
   > >> It's showing up as light blue here.   
   > >>   
   > >> Then you need to adjust the color on your monitor   
      
   Wrong, Pendragon.   
      
   The front cover of Pegasus is clearly pale blue in color.   
      
   > > Dockery: Or perhaps you should adjust yours.   
   > >   
   > > The *inside* of the cover shows up light blue on my computer.   
      
   Not as much exposure to light as the outside, obviously.   
      
   > > But the inside and the outside just don't match.   
      
   Of course the outside has been exposed to light for fifty years while the   
   inside cover hasn't.   
      
   > > It may have faded.  And it may still look ever so slightly blue in real   
   life.  But in you photo, it is not a blue cover.   
      
   I can clearly see the pale blue color of the cover.   
      
   Very strange that you and NG claim not to see the pale blue color of the   
   Pegasus cover.   
      
   > > I have suggested, several times, that you post a short video of you   
   opening the cover so that we can see that the introduction is inside.  You   
   post videos all the time on youtube.  How difficult would it be for you to   
   post one more?   
      
   I'll consider that.   
      
   > > NancyGene has asked why you don't post additional photos of the magazine;   
   something showing the cover partially lifted, or showing the staple... and   
   suggests that you have a reason for refusing to comply.   
      
   I've posted the proof, and now it's on you and NG to prove me wrong.   
      
   Which you're obviously desperate to do.   
      
   > > It would be very easy for you to show that the letter/introduction   
   actually appears in the magazine.  It wouldn't be absolute proof, but it would   
   go a lot farther then the seemingly unrelated photos you keep reposting.   
      
   The pages I've scanned and posted are sufficient.   
      
   > >> Like I said, the cover may have been blue half a century ago, but it's   
   not blue any more.   
   >   
   > Dockery: No, the cover of Pegasus '76 was and still is a very pale blue.

   > MMP: Stomping your foot and repeating yourself, even with additional   
   emphasis, is still not going to alter the facts.   
      
   I can say the same thing to you, as the cover of Pegasus '76 is absolutely   
   pale blue.   
      
   > And one of the facts is that on two of my computers, and one of NancyGene's,   
   the cover shows up as a yellowing or tan off-white.   
      
   I don't know why you can't see the pale blue color of the cover, but I'm sure   
   the color is there.   
      
   Perhaps *you* should adjust your monitor.
