I cannot tell and I apologize. I have re-read that message and it
simply did not come in correctly. I have been properly chastised and
I'll try to get underneath the text from now on to see what the origins are.

Greg,
Can't you read e-mail properly? You've got it ALL wrong. If you
can't be careful, don't say anything.
One has to be careful in copying things into
replies/forwards. CONTRARY TO APPEARANCES OF THIS E-MAIL, I DID NOT
"write" THE QUOTED LANGUAGE. Anyone who has been reading my
postings on FIREARMSREGPROF for the past 10 years, would certainly
suspect, if not KNOW, that to be the case!
LET ME REPEAT THAT -- I DID NOT "write" THE QUOTED WORDS.

BURKETT WROTE THAT STATEMENT.
It was in an article, written by
<http://hq.ssrn.com/Journals/RedirectClick.cfm?url=http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=691827&partid=47512&did=24820&eid=35845063>MAXINE
BURKETT, who quite erroneously, IMHO, thinks that racism has
something to do with the Second Amendment. She is another Carl
Bogus in her views. In my post, it is easy to identify the real
author rather than the commentator. In your reply/forward, the
commentator (me) is made to appear to be the author of the
views. This is a quirk in e-mail software but one that the sender
of the response CAN prevent by foresight and action.
It's nice that you "don't accept Professor's Olson's overall
hypothesis," because you've got it all f**ked up! Go read

BURKETT's article which I cited (not accepted, praised, or
validated) and see what SHE says. HER VIEWS, not mine.
I know how this sort of thing starts out and that it has to be
stopped at once. I've been the victim before of this process
whereby a poster is turned into an author through someone else's
sloppy e-mail reply or forward. I'm still trying to kill off a
recurrent e-mail FROM the year 2000 in which I am made to look like
the author of certain "controversial" statements. Statements that I
never made.

I might be opening a can of worms but here goes.....
*** And I simply cannot accept Professor Olson's overall hypothesis.
Of course not, it is NOT Olson's hypothesis to begin with!
