I stated no such thing. I asked a question. The question that was asked was, how
many ideas of the ideas used in Fruit people thought were in Fritz. People could
have quite simply answered "none". I have my own opinion on this which I might
add, I am perfectly entitled to as are all others theirs.

I should like you to withdraw this accusation. I am entitled as anyone is to
speculate of whatsoever I wish. Speculation is just that, speculation.

You should always delete rudeness but this is a discussion board and the over
zealous way you moderate is absolutely correctly questioned by the previous
posters.

If you want to dicate Skinnerisms to everyone, go and get your own message
board. It gets quite tedious listening to you trying to justify a position that
you are obviously unable to cope with.

Now, less of your false accusations and fiction if you don't mind please.
