- By "you", you are probably referring to Susan Garvin, who claimed that
- I deleted an attribution, when in reality, I left one too many in:

- That was, well, amazing. In a burst of selective editing, Petey
- Honey deleted a reference line and spent hundreds of lines
- replying to someone else as if he were me.
-
- I guess he'll be accusing me of forgery now.
-
- Susan
-
- Actually, I'm not sure what to accuse her of. Maybe "sheer orneriness"
- is the most appropriate charge. Most of the time I *was* replying to
- her, BTW. The only other person involved was Holtsinger, and I did not
- have anything to say to him.
-
- To see why she is wrong, I'd have to repost my whole post, because it
- is the *absence* of anything with a >## in the text that is at issue.
- But I'd rather hold off on that, because the post, as Susan says
- [one of the few true things she says] is a long one, though not nearly
- as long as the 500+ line post of Susan's to which it is following up.
-
- But here is the beginning, anyway:

-
- Garvin, on the other hand, seems to be incapable of summarizing
- what other people wrote, such as my post MENSTRUAL EXTRACTION AND THE
- 5-WEEK LIMIT.

- Not the same thing at all.
