What I have read may, or may not, be true. Whilst I may have missed it, I didn't see anything on 'his/her' web site which stated that the picture of a blonde woman was a true representation of the MVP in question. Maybe it's there simply to cheer up an otherwise rather dull page! What you *think* you know from your Internet research may be totally incorrect - there really is no way of *knowing* the truth on line. Just remember, it was *you* who refused to have email contact with me, though of what you were afraid I have absolutely no idea. Mr Lipman will agree that email is a somewhat 'safer' medium than Usenet! Happy Easter to you, regardless! -- Dave - *not* thinking BTS is a bad guy!

What I have > read may, or may not, be true. Fair enough. If it was published by the national inquirer (probably spelled wrong, I don't care), I'd respect your view. However, in this case, many many reputable sites are complaining about PcButts. Myself and others have witnessed *and caught him* in the act of code theft (research : pcbutts and rot13). So it goes beyond opinion to fact. > Whilst I may have missed it, I didn't see anything on 'his/her' web > site which stated that the picture of a blonde woman was a true > representation of the MVP in question. Maybe it's there simply to > cheer up an otherwise rather dull page! Then you missed it. Chris has been trying to convince people he's a female model for awhile now; Several threads were started about it. I know it's a waste of time for me to even say this again, but I'd suggest you do more reading about your idol and less posting. You might learn what a tool you are. > What you *think* you know from your Internet research may be totally > incorrect - there really is no way of *knowing* the truth on line. The internet isn't like religion where "faith" is a requirement. You can know the absolute truth about someone here. > Just remember, it was *you* who refused to have email contact with me, > though of what you were afraid I have absolutely no idea. Mr Lipman > will agree that email is a somewhat 'safer' medium than Usenet! I can't speak for Dave, but I at one point took the bait and responded to several of your emails; and as you can see, this is the end result of it. I don't blame David for not wanting to take the same road. > Happy Easter to you, regardless! And to you as well, Dave. -- "Hrrngh!

I posted relevant article - the second post in this thread - but maybe David was too distracted/frustrated to read it! -- Dave |
