I don't know Vaj's reading habit as it pertains to which posters he reads which he doesn't. I assume that he would go back and read Raunchy's post if he had an interest. For me the distinction between whether she was slamming him as being false in his motivation to record old tapes (because he has the equipment), or if she was slamming him for another reason, didn't really matter.
I only referred to her post as an example of how there is such a wide range of opinion on people's motives here. Raunchy generally views Vaj as not being credible, and Curtis (and me ) view Vaj as being credible. That is the point I was tryng to make, and I was making that point in an attempt to show why I sometimes, (or often, you feel) vaccilate in my opinions, because these are two people whose opinion I respect, just as I respect your opinion. --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@...> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "seventhray1" steve.sundur@ wrote: > > > > Judy, Vaj can read the post himself and come to whatever > > conclusions he wants.
