Dear Carl,
I'm sorry this has become such an issue.
But it has always been my practice to
double-post information, here and at
"alt.religions.watchtower.reform", the
H20 sponsored newsgroup. So this is
hardly behind
your back.
But may I remind you that the same
thing was done by Norm for your post
at the newsgroups as well. If you'll
remember one of your original posts
regarding the eclipses of the Neo-Babylonian
period wherein I was
claiming that the
SK400 was fraudulent document because
it mentions "year 9" of Kambyses and
you came out and basically said there
was no "year 9" reference in the SK400.
Of course, you later retracted it, but
not at the
newsgroup. I just happen to
find that post by mistake. It was a very
effective shut-down of my argument since
a key point was the "year 9" reference.
Of course, later you noted it was an
error here at H20.
So lots of things get posted, lots of things get missed, it's the way of the "net."
Joseph: Thanks for messing up my action, Joseph. I had usenet all to myself and now that you've blown the whistle on me, Carl is likely going to start limiting my
influence by posting at usenet.
(just kidding!).
Cheers guys,
Gary
