   Very good, you can add one fact-point to the score you assiduously   
   maintain.   
      
   The earliest I had reason to know about it was in about 1973 what was   
   called ARPANET.  I chose not to become involved with it at that time.  From   
   a perspective of advantage, that was a poor decision, but it did allow me   
   to avoid the hazard Snowden encountered.   
      
   So are you now claiming that Tang's quotes are things you wrote in the   
   1960s over the network which was at that time only accessible to vetted   
   secret-keepers?   
      
   The desire to be more-right is a sneakey bastard, beware.   
      
   I'm no great fan of facts these days, aside from the type one finds in the   
   CRC Tables.  Once truth is written and called fact, it has become something   
   other than truth.  I find the network of falsehoods much easier to   
   navigate, following something contradictory tends to produce bad-karma, but   
   being too stupid to find anything right that needs doing is allowed, even   
   if it kills you, everywhere.   
      
   In any case I didn't bother reading the rest of Tang's post, just as Kitty   
   chose not to read the rest of my sentence.  In every post someone writes,   
   the individual expresses things in ways that are clear enough, mostly, to   
   find either a grain of truth, or a grain of self-contradiction.  No need to   
   read your past expressions of something you have been learning about in the   
   interim, not when we can simply talk here and now.
