   your forthcoming copy), I have decided to once more grant you the   
   benefit of the doubt.

   That is not what I said, George.  I said that based on my past (and   
   current) exchanges with you, I believe that you are capable of doing   
   *anything* to win an argument ("forgery") included.

   Just what did you say, George?   
      
   NancyGene and I have been prying out your proverbial teeth to obtain   
   what little information you've revealed.   
      
   Like I said: if you just tell the truth about what happened, we wouldn't   
   have to try to weave the little shreds of material you've given us   
   together in an attempt to figure out what you're (not) talking about.   
      
      
   >   
   >> and accused   
   >> NancyGene of having copied it.   
   >   
   > Nor did I accuse NastyGoon of having "copied" it (since it was not

   A copy needn't be exact, George.   
      
      
   > That's three lies in a row from you, Lying Michael, all of them attempts   
   > by you to change the meaning of something I did tell you.   
      
   Again, all of them attempts to make sense out of what little you did   
   tell us.   
      
      
   > Isn't that   
   > what you were pre-emptively accusing me of doing in this thread just   
   > today? Why, yes, it is. So go ahead and accuse me of playing "IKYABWAI"   
   > again.   
      
   I don't know what you're talking about, George?  You are saying that   
   I've pre-emptively accused you of telling three lies in a row?  WTF does   
   that even mean?   
      
      
   >> Do you really think that's any better than if you had actually forged   
   >> it?   
   >   
   > I think the worst thing one can accuse another writer of s forgery. So   
   > you go on  milking that charge; you still have over a week till the book   
   > arrives.   
      
   Again, I am once more giving you the benefit of the doubt -- contingent   
   upon your revealing the source once your mysterious book arrives.
