No one there would dare betray you? "

It wouldn't be a "betrayal."

Don't give yourself airs.

I would bet that the majority of the people at the Maxwell Institute don't even know that this board exists.

Maybe. Maybe not.

If you imagine that the majority of the academics or the editors or the support staff associated with the Institute spend any time at all on sites such as this, you're wrong.

In all the years that I've been centrally involved with the Institute, I've heard only two people ever so much as mention Internet message boards.

I thought his sentence was pretty clear. I'm not really sure what other possibilities there are.

They're easy to think of.

You can do it.

I *am* guessing that it's safe to say that you've been PMing him obsessively in the last few minutes or so.

LOL. Not even once.

Ask him.

It never occurred to me.

People from the M.I. *do* post things here, don't they?

I do, yes.

And they're more than happy to lift quotes from here, too, without any attribution. Aren't they?

Yes, I am.

And who knows? Someday I may well do it again.

I'm all ears.

I'm aware of that.

That's why at least one of your "secret informants" has found you such a voracious and gullible consumer of his fictions.

I bet this is coming as something of a shock to Lamanite.

I really couldn't say.

Oh, it so would be! You know it.

Obviously, enough people paid attention so that Will Schryver's upcoming publication got canned.

Must be pretty important people.

They're easy to think of.

You can do it.

If by "easy" you mean "I always say this as a cover story," then I'm going to have to go with, "Lamanite made it all up." Is that what you were thinking?

I *am* guessing that it's safe to say that you've been PMing him obsessively in the last few minutes or so.

LOL. Not even once.

Ask him.

I've already asked him what I wanted to ask him.

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

Right. Of course, Dan. Lol.

Dr. Scratch,

Is there a thread title that Dr. Petersen and the Maxwell Institute aren't the central topic of?

Sort or like, or precisely the same as the ending for that Mel Brooks classic "Blazing Saddles", where the fight breaks into adjoining movie sets and keep on blazing from one to the next.

Once I was told by a member of the Maxwell institute that they occasionally post new information here (this board) to test its ability to withstand criticism.

I know that if I stick with LDS doctrine, all my theories withstand virtually any criticism. Evolution for example.......
