Or that the book you're reading has been written by a person named
"Nicolas Bourbaki"...

On what basis can "Elliotte" know that a message purported to be from "Barry Caplan" actually is from "Barry Caplan", or that there even is a "Barry Caplan"? The person writing this, who claims to be "Barry Caplan", has never met anyone named "Elliotte Rusty Harold" to the best of his recollection. He ("Barry Caplan") does claim to personally be acquainted with many others on this list though - hi - sorry I missed you in DC! :)Best Regards,
