I have some news for you, and it's all bad.  The evidence is graphic, and
unfortunately for you, it overwhelmingly suggests that you're a liar.

LB> He is.

MP> Would you like to prove that, arsehole?

Charming.  Do you have any idea what an incredibly childish spectacle
you're making of yourself?  What a responsible ZC you'd have made, I don't
think.

DD> I feed Bill his mail and the message in my message base also claims "my

LB> To forge a message and make all the see-by and path lines

MP> Not really.  Just get a copy of another message from my system to his, and
MP> pull off all the appropriate lines.  No problems.

Whether it's possible or not is totally irrelevant, even if you're too
thick to realise it.  The truth is that you specifically stated that it was
YOUR design, when, in fact, it was somebody else's intellectual property. 
And that, my lying little friend, is called plagiarism.  Others might call
it theft.

I've quoted your original paragraph below (unabridged of course), in order
to embarrass you even further, and will continue to do so until such time
as you withdraw your unwarranted accusations of forgery against me, and
tender a public apology.  A policy complaint could well be on the cards
too...

MP> I do not deny writing the message.

Well that's extremely big of you.

MP> I deny having written "It is my own design".

In that case, I will take extreme pleasure in publicly calling you a LIAR,
because that's EXACTLY what you wrote.

LB> And all this from someone who recently nominated to want to become the

MP> A hell of a lot better than you would, I can assure you.

Given your extremely immature and patently dishonest behaviour over the
past few days, your "assurances" mean very little to me, I'm
afraid.  The fact is that you've been caught red-handed telling lies, and
have publicly defamed me in an abortive attempt to regain some credibility.

It is now in your own interests to tread very, VERY warily, Matthew.
