You publicly call me a liar (for all intents and purposes), but offer no=20 proof whatsoever. The email dated 2008/06/09 (of which you are also a=20 recipient) is hardly ambiguous. I'm not going to sign any NDAs (my word=20 should be good enough), but I will gladly listen to your arguments off-line= =20 and offer a public retraction of my comments if the preponderance of=20 evidence warrants it. I'm not saying I agree with the majority, or that I am satisfied with the=20 process or the outcome. I simply stated the fact that the majority of those= =20 who answered the question of whether Olin should be moderated, voted in his= =20 favor.
