   that's not necessarily true, but it's beside the point.   
      
   why are you afraid of substantiating your claim? you seem fearful of making any   
   attempt to prove your point.   
      
   i think B's C referred to you as a coward, i think he may be right.

   but i posted that many years ago and no unbiased reader said anything like what   
   you're saying about the piece, so your uninformed assessment is wrong.   
      
   and you seem afraid to dispprove my point.   
      
   why are yolu afraid to disprove my point?
