Please take your paranoia elsewhere. I think if you actually sat down
and had lunch with each of the parties involved, and those further out
but well-informed, you'd find a consistent view of reality that
doesn't match ANY of your delusions.
No conspiracy could be that well-oiled. Someone would have leaked it
by now.
And consider the contrary for a moment... if this *is* a conspiracy
desgined to lock you out, what point would complaining about it do?
{grin}
To be a contribution to the community, you must have some higher
degree of trust than you are demonstrating. If you can't manage that
on your own, seek assistance elsewhere.
