I believe that Mr. Tisdale did not post this message. If you look at the message headers, you can see several important differences from the message headers in Mr. Tisdale's "normal" posts. Discrepancy #1: The timezone is different. Discrepancy #2: The message-id is different. Discrepancy #3: There are fewer HTTP fields in the "Blacklist" header (implying a different newsreader). In fact, the only similarities between the header for "Blacklist" and the headers from Mr. Tisdale's usual posts are the ones that are easily forged by a novice. Despite your personal opinion of Mr. Tisdale, slander is totally uncalled for. _______ "Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation" yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation. Josh Sebastian
