*****GK: May I remind you that it is not I who
"silenced" you? And that absolutely no one on the list
(nearly 500 members at the time) thought your
so-called "alternative routes" relied on anything that
could even remotely be construed as "new evidence"?
And, finally and most importantly, that you are
perfectly free to advance your hypothesis if you can
find new evidence for it? But there isn't any is
there? So the simile you deplore was quite apt wasn't
it?*****
