Here you go again... This is not true Bruce. You suggest intentions who do
not exits. How can you do such a thing? You are a moderator here!

Was it necessary to involve me in this?

First I don't know what you are talking about. Was that a public posting?
I can hardly believe that. Or in a private email to you? Also unlikely. If
it was a public posting then post it here, if it was a private email I
like to have it in my email box. Can that be done?

Thank you.
