One can only infer that for the above statement to be true Ackley doesn't
read Sauer's messages and skips over his text quoted by one of us. That or
Ackley is lying.

It is truly amazing the lengths these guys will go to in an attempt to
cover for that lying little weasel Sauer.

Apparently a habit Ackley has picked up from Sauer and Klahn. The
connection shared by those three? The USAF for a short time.
