- No, no, no .. you misunderstood what I was trying to say to Ivan.
- I'm not saying that analyzing writing styles is not authentic; I
- know that it is. My point to Ivan was that offering to do this
- just to prove that there is more than one person at Mt. Allison is
- what is ridiculous. I can't believe that he wants to spend his time
- proving this. I think most of the people who read this newsgroup
- are not particularly interested in this scrutiny of Mt. Allison posts.
