-Caveat Lector-
Howard:
Thanks for your civil reply. Assuming that I am the "he" to which you refer
(actually, I just forwarded the post from someone whom I trusted as being
somewhat reliable), I issued the originator of this thread on the slim
chance that there may have been something to it. Generally, I post such
"provocative" information in the hopes that potential readers will be able
to discern fact from fiction. I take no responsibility for, nor do I make
any claims regarding its basis in fact or for what someone may do with the
information once it is given. I see no such standard applied to the posters
of other conspiratorial threads on subjects referring, say, to federal
concentration camps :-)
That said, I find it interesting that June, my harshest critic on this
matter, made no mention of the fact that I just as eagerly disseminated a
retraction of the thread--as a hoax--in the form of another forewarded post
entitled: "SR News: The Aids Needle Hoaxes."
