I'm busted?

I don't even recall this thread! (and I have a rather good memory)

And I have no interest, nor knowledge, of what Howie Coombe does or did.

I remember him from years ago, is all. 

I have a resource to go and check...so give me a bit. Perhaps I'm wrong.

I'd suspect that I was taken out of context. (OR someone is hacking)

I'm not here, or anywhere, to be dishonest.

I suspect that you are mistakenly posting to me when someone else wrote 
something to you.

OR I might have been drunk...but I doubt it. ;)
