TILL I too would like for Bell to send the e-mail in which I named you as one who has forwarded messages to me on the validation procedure. The fact is that I cut Bell's "test" from the posting that Pxxxx Kxxx had sent to me and then posted on the errancy list a satirical response to it. In reply, he sent me a private mail in which he said, "Oh I forgot to mention, thanks for providing the identity of ohcnar@parsmail.com I am sure he will appreciate it." By then, I had had enough of his private messages for one day, so I didn't answer it or redirect it to Errancy. I looked over the posting in which I had cut and pasted the "test" from Kord's message and saw nothing that referred to you. I assume that he was on a fishing expedition to get me to say that you were the one who had sent the test to me, and so when I didn't react to it, he must have assumed that my silence meant that you were the one. His message to you was a deceptive means of entrapment to find out if his suspicion was correct. This is the same guy who has been lecturing everyone on morality, isn't it?
