Tony, Very well!
Apparently I am a falsifier, because I have read posts where you and others have stated that Ray was a liar and also Glenn Moyer. I saw a post as recently as this weekend, that all who would soon be left on the UC Listserv would be the crazies. I quoted an earlier post of mine as to how the UC Neighbors Listserv would portray us and said, "Well...I hate to say I told you so..." I have NO wish, desire NOR motive to ever miscall you about your posts, as I would not have it done the same to me. I am sorry you feel that I would. -Wilma On 8/6/07 7:15 PM, "Anthony West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wilma, > > I don't "try to portray" people as either liars or mental cases. > Whenever you can identify an apparently intentional falsehood, then it > is always fair to say that its falsifier is a liar.
