Oh for goodness sake, I am not having this. I think that it was perfectly reasonale to point out that your jumping on my misunderstanding looked suspicious, as it did to me. And the fact that you subsequently retracted made no difference. The mischief was in sowing the seed of doubt, as evidenced by the fact that Brinniel and others picked up on it, and the fact that we are still discussing the issue now.

I reall am rather miffed at being suspected on the basis of something that would have involved an improbable amount of foresight (to spot the opportunity) combined with an equal measure of stupidity (for thinking that it might work).

And you call my case against you circumstantial, Roa? That's quite something, given the flimsiness of your case against Nerwen, and now me. I think that it is you who is looking for someone to suspect.

But, as you have said, it is Day 1 and we are all looking for someone to suspect based on what we have, such as it is.
