This Skinner-Strickland mess needs to be cleared up (if indeed that is still possible), to ascertain whether Skinner and or Strickland (forget Wilke, he's irrelevant at this time IMO) are just spoofing us with unwarranted lies, or not. I never doubted that Peter Skinner was real - he's in the phone book, address and all. I have a real doubt about Strickland being an alias Skinner used, however. The language, the depth of knowledge, overall point of view of Mr. Strickland was just too uncanny for me. And Mr. Strickland is NOT in the phone book - surprise, surprise! I would be surprised if somebody from UA Games Dept., contacts CCC, and states that THEY KNOW STRICKLAND PERSONALLY - and that he is not our Mr. Skinner, and his language and point of view do indeed match those of the Mr. Strickland who posted up here to CCC. Mr. Skinner's heroic actions are great - but don't grant him a license to spoof us all here with pseudonym's and pretentious lies. And that's exactly what happened here, in my opinion. I didn't even suspect it at first - but every single post by Strickland drew that conclusion closer and closer. Barring some evidence that can't be manufactured, I see it as the only one - Mr. Skinner is using Kevin Strickland's name to post here. Why? Because his own validity got wiped out in the $300 computer sale incident. Which indicates to me, he lied about that also. I'll bet a dollar you can get a copy of a Fedex shipping receipt, for that computer. No "receipt got lost", bullshit, Mr. Skinner. I try to have a lot of compassion for folk who make mistakes, but I don't like being played for a fool. In my book, you're a cheat to Mr. Galati, and a liar HERE, and you must know you've done NOTHING to prove otherwise, despite all your irrelevant statements regarding your personal life, etc. All of that (your marriage problems, fire, etc.), have NOTHING to do with the veracity of your statements here on CCC. That's my opinion. David
