No, Ann, he knew it was very unlikely I'd have seen it by the time he made his post 20 minutes after Nabby's. He also knew folks wouldn't bother to check the timestamps and realize how quickly he'd made his post. He fully intended to create the false impression that anyone who was going to comment negatively on Nabby's post would have already done so. And if anybody did, that it would appear we'd been shamed into it by his post. He knew exactly what he was doing. And BTW, you were included in his condemnation. You were the first to criticize Barry for his "a little off" post. Curtis had no reason to think you had seen it during that 20 minutes either. He saw an opportunity to bash both of us because we'd criticized Barry, and he took it. I guess you didn't disappoint in the end because I didn't hear Jiminy, or any other cricket for that matter, once you got wind of it. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > Phew, I'm glad somebody could decipher that message but I still > > > don't know what it means.
