    Hi David,
         Thanks for the post from Mr. Klass etc, so we seem to  have a 
bit  of  a  competition  from both  parties,betting men  etc..  I  was 
correct on the one point($1000), but  as one  can see  there are  many 
points to  both sides  of the  allegations.  It  is certainly  hard to 
ascertain what  is the  real truth  concerning this  scenario.  It  is 
quite obvious concerning the MJ-12 scenario that nothing would ever be 
resolved.  I have looked  over many  texts, and  basically one  person 
says black, the other white.  Point and counterpoint, both sides being 
reasonable.
    I guess it comes down to credibility if that matters  in the  case 
of these two gentlemen.   Both seem  credible to  me.  So  I am  at an 
impass.  But I would like to discuss one part of this, perhaps netmail 
if you like that is, let me know........
Happy Trails,
Fred.
