the point of our discussion was not the misnumbering - there you are wrong, I never questioned

really numbered the pages (the opinion which I believe you may not hold today, since you now 
call him only  "someone") , you categorically dismissed it; case closed.  Well, you may be Pelling, 
but you are not  compelling :-).

I have no  intention to discuss the renumbering - there is a strong evidence for it - I only question 
your methods of shutting off anybody "in the name of the group" - as far as I know,  you were 
not elected to speak for the group yet :-). There  is no need to underestimate the intelligence of 
VM-list readers: they can make their own conclusions without extra help.

But it  is actually your problem, you behave exactly that way :-).  I posted my results and your  
blood pressure jumped sky high since it did not fit your picture how the things were done.  
Needless to say, I mentioned  that there is more comparison to be done, but to be based on the 
facts, via  writing analysis, not on assumption who would or  wouldn't do what and when.  

>I flagged your name simply because you have claimed (on-list and on your >web pages) that the 
foliation's hand was very similar to the VMs' hand - 

So  it is -  but so what of it? The similarity means very little, we both know that. Besides, in this 
List, I did not raise any discussion on that point,  I only listed my webpage,  where I show my 
findings. That is only fair  -  I do not expect you want to censor my page too . . .?  

>- but I'm really not sure I recognize anything censorious or "denigratory" >in my tone.

I am glad to hear that. Just so the others don't  die of boredom,  why don't we stop it right here?
