Don't bother Bruce. I wouldn't be suprised if people who actually joined our
discussion last month would now start to claim they didn't now.

I have no problem believing it is possible to miss some discussions, or not
bothering to read the website of an important event even when is says to reread
it from time to time because thinks can change.

It can happen to someone or even sometwo or three. But the amount of people now
claiming to know of nothing is at least unrealistic to me.
