Kent:

I told everyone here that I was using this message board as research for my book BEFORE I started, DURING the experiment at various times, and AFTER it was completed. I never made a secret out of that.

I just completed a *quick* search of the archives, using keywords such as Book, Psy Ops, Experiment, Research and Test.  I found no proof of what you said.  That doesn't make it not true, it might just mean I'm a bonehead.  I also have a busy life to lead.  August 2002 isn't 2 years either - I haven't been here 2 years...pardon my ignorance.

So don't try to tell me that I never mentioned this --- because I did --- NUMEROUS TIMES.

Um, I couldn't find one.  Sorry to waste your time.

Perhaps you are angry about being fooled so easily --- but how and why is THAT my fault?!?!?

I'm not angry, Kent,  nor am I easily fooled, however foolish I may be at times.  I don't want to blame you for anything.  In fact, I usually like reading what you have to post as well as how people respond to your occasional (frequent?)provocations.  It's almost always of more interest than anything I have to add.  I work around 12 hours a day, and outside of my son and work, have little to contribute that's meaningful, including my opinion.  What I mean by that is to be outspoken is to throw part of yourself, however small, into the meat grinder of public opinion.  I'm recovering from some personal losses and admire your tenacity and (this sounds corny as hell) think you come from a place of love and concern, but with your abrasive, secretive, contradictory, coarse capital letters, well, you aren't winning any converts. 

I was going to send this to you privately - but if I'm wrong, I thought I owed you a public apology.

Lee
