***NOTE: The "Part Six" below "Part One" below is actually "Part Two." Sorry for the confusion.

Here is my reply to AF’s six posts. I had every intention of posting this last Tuesday, but, as I mentioned unforeseen occurrences kept soaking up my free time.

I strongly recommend that you read each of the following six responses BEFORE commenting. Since I do not have time to check into to this board but once or twice a week, and I certainly have no desire to spend more time commenting on trailer posts to the thread, if you have a question about anything that has been said in my discussion with AF, please email me at GregStffrd@aol.com. I will review your question or comment, and if it calls for a response, I will post your original question with a response, to the board. I will do this once or twice a week. If I do not get any emails, I will assume there are no questions, and I will await AF’s reply.

I do not believe has presented a strong case for his claim to have proven deliberate deception on the part of the Society. I also believe he has misquoted my first edition, and some of the Society’s literature, and presented extremely one-sided opinions as if they were established facts. In addition to viewing assumptions and opinions as facts, he has also presented hearsay as fact. Consider what he wrote on H2O back on 10-18-99:

: As far as his presence here, I think we simply have another case of WTS double standards. YK has to run but he doesn't.
To a large extent this is true. Greg has a personal relationship with Albert Schroeder, and I've been told that he clears his manuscripts with Schroeder before publishing them. Schroeder, of course, has long been known for setting forth his own opinions without getting the approval of the rest of the GB, but his long-standing position and unquestioned loyalty to the Society protects him. While I wouldn't describe Greg as a protege of Schroeder, their relationship gives him a measure of protection.

END OF QUOTE

Everything that is said above, with respect to my relationship with Albert Schroeder is a lie. AF has spread misinformation from sources that tell lies, without even bothering to check with me, to see if what he has been told is accurate. Of course, who would be in a better position to know the truth of the above, than me?

So, by all means read my response to AF, ignore the spin machine that is bound to show up, and remember that AF has sources that have lied to him.

I am sure AF is a nice guy, but I think he has misinformed you folks not only about my relationship with Albert Schroeder, but about many other matters. This is my view and opinion, based on my consideration of what he has written thus far. It is for you to accept or reject.

Best Regards,

Greg Stafford
