If you want to insist Chaney's sysadmin at the time was lying about it, take
it up with him.  (Of course, you'll do no such thing, being afraid of the
possibility that he just might be right.)

That one's funny, considering your level of credibility...

True -- you never pay attention to said claims in the first place, and then
go in later and start speculating.

Congratulations.  He apologized to you.  Now, let's see if he'll apologize
to everyone else who read his garbage in this newsgroup, eh?  He never *did
make a public apology.  And now he's offering to "apologize" for one of his
myriad of other thoughtless ravings?  Speaking from personal experience, the
boy's "apologies" aren't worth the electrons needed to display them in this
medium.  Given your track record, though, it's not too hard to see why *you*
take up for Stevedennis's cause, though...

Well, good for you, little Petie.  I kinda figured you'd be one of those PC
morons.

(So, Mr. Science -- you were one of the original suck-ups to ChaneyHall's
call for a boycott of my articles.  How's it going?  :-)
