- Anyone that's a talk.abortion regular, that is. The thread was cross-posted
- to a number of newsgroups.

-
- I explained this to you previously. Certain news programs contain a bug
- which will result in a post containing a From: line in the body, starting
- in column 1, to be taken as a new post. This can cause massive problems,
- resulting in hundreds of duplicate copies being posted.
-
- >What is the source of the discrepancies, I wonder?
-
- Editing errors? What's the difference? The point remains that Chaney
- responded to someone addressing me as though they had been addressing
- him. He was wrong, exactly as Susan described. Everyone who saw the
- original exchange saw this. All you're doing is making yourself look
- like more of a fool.
-
- You posted this under the heading "The Mendacity of Susan Garvin". The
- mendacity was on the part of Chaney when he accused Susan of forgery.
- (I'd guess he figured this out eventually, after having his nose rubbed in
- it; hence his failure to follow through on his threats.)
-
- Now, we could all tell you that you're mistaken [you're mistaken: Susan's
- right and Chaney's wrong], but you might then accuse us all of mendacity.
- We could show you the original posts [I have them], but if you didn't
- believe them when Susan posted them, why would you believe them when anyone
- else posts them. It seems that the only solution is for you to find an
- archive, dig up the original posts yourself, and satisfy yourself as to the
- truth. Then come back and apologize to everyone you accused of lying
- about it.
