No, you were incorrect in your suspicions (actually you knew they were incorrect), and also in your claim that your suspicions were justified because nobody would give you a (nonexistent) link to the article. Moreover, you misrepresent the debate with Skolnick, which began well before you joined alt.m.t, continued on and off for several years, with many participants, and in which you were only minimally involved, if at all.
