-Caveat Lector-
Jeez, all I was saying was that, IMO, your CTRL posts and
web articles almost always seem to be well worth the read --
and I was quoting Bill's word's, NOT mine. It's not like I
believe you have a monopoly on the truth or anything, or
that you're "all that", and whatnot. In fact, if it makes
you feel any better, in "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler"
Antony C. Sutton said about everything you mentioned in that
article even better then you said it. (And it's not as if
Sutton has a monopoly on the so-called 'truth' either.)

Sorry about the flattery. It won't happen again.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
