      [continued from previous message]              George Dance said that his source told him (by some method) the first       line, title, and book in which a poem by Robert Creeley was published.       The source told George Dance the second line, but George Dance did not       write that down. We assume that George Dance wrote down the first line,       the title, and the author of the poem, along with the book. We conclude       that George Dance was given this information orally, as otherwise it       would already be available in print (if in an email or a site on-line).       >       > NancyGene and I have been prying out your proverbial teeth to obtain       > what little information you've revealed.       George Dance is feeling the heat in Canada.       >       > 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.       It would have saved what little "face" George Dance has.       >       >       >>       >>> and accused       >>> NancyGene of having copied it.       >>       >> Nor did I accuse NastyGoon of having "copied" it (since it was not       >> copied, but changed), Lying Michael.       >       > A copy needn't be exact, George.       If we were going to paraphrase our line, we would have changed the words       that were changed in the "Creeley" version.       >       >       >> 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?
