If you haven't claimed anything then why did you tell Bob that he might be the
script writer of the whole screenplay [for what - the Twilight Zone??]?? Wasn't
that a claim or better an attack just because Bob had expressed the obvious,
namely that the alleged data about DIEP and FALCON were belonging in the
Twilight Zone? - Tell me for what reason you wrote that at all? Only to publish
that you fixed some holes in the DIEP book? What had all that to do with the
basic absurdity of such claims for example that FALCON now plays like a GM with
2700? You know that that is wrong, don't you?
