Hi Sarah

  I am confused about some aspects of your response to paulos, I hope that you
can clear them up for me. Here is your reply to paulos question number 1

 	1.  I still did not understand because much people are

Here you say that no proof is given, Yet further down in your answer to paulos
number 4 when paulos reaffirms his belief that I played against fritz5 you agree
with him. Here is the text

My question to you is How can you say that no proof was given, yet agree with
paulos that it was fritz5 that was used?  What's even more confusing in this
whole matter is that The principal critic of my decision to reveal the handle of
the cheater States in a post that there is overwelming proof (99%) Here is the
text of that Post



Let's take a look at what facts have been shown.

 I don't think I have heard anyone hear say with any confidence that they do not
believe that the person used a computer, Yet I continue to hear that no proof
was given! If there was no proof, then why does everyone believe that the person
was guilty.
