Is anyone else hoping this thread goes longer than the massive thread on which it was originally based?

Not me. I am hoping it will die -it's too embassing. I advise that a certain someone (hint hint) just stop responding. Rollo is not going to change his mind.

Well -- to my credit, I hope --my responses are growing shorter and shorter. They're dwindling away. And, when I leave in two or three hours, they'll stop altogether.

I'm afraid that, unless Scratch Senior returns for an encore performance and the two Flying Scroatchii keep this going all on their own, BJB's dream is going to go unfulfilled. That's not impossible, though. They've been playing this tune to various audiences for roughly two years now.

I don't recall either of us making this claim.

There is a lot of conjecture based upon pieces of conversation from second hand sources you have managed to glean.

Many others were from first hand sources (for example, DCP's posts).

So much for your complaint about name-calling.

They've been playing this tune to various audiences for roughly two years now.

Actually, only since April 2006.

Here's a first-hand source:

The claims made by the Scroatchii about an orchestrated gossip campaign against Mike Quinn and about my involvement in it are wholly false.

I hope that's not too ambiguous.

Too bad you can't make your past admissions disappear. The genie is out of the bottle ....

And even he hasn't been able to grant your wish for actual evidence to support your slander.

That ought to tell you something.

Reading this thread is like having the TV get stuck on the weather channel, but without the cool background music.

No need since you have already given all the evidence that was needed.
