If you are going to make up lies.... doing so with an audience
full of
witnesses isn't very bright. Maybe there is something to the
allegations?


Gene, I can't really tell if you are addressing me about "going to
make up lies..." or not. But if you are addressing me. I will plead
that Quaid is permanently banned.

Certainly, not. My bad, I *should* have said, "If one was going to
make up lies..." While abroad in USENET and not subject to APA or the
like which forces me to type formally, I tend to fall into bad habits
and type the way we might be talking face-to-face.....

What I really meant was that Quaid and wife are saying that
allegations against them are false. I'm merely observing that at least
some of the actions they are accused of were committed in the presence
of an (actual) audience. The SODDI defense (Some Other Dude Did It)
tends to fail, miserably, in cases such as this..... :-)

Poor old Randy, whoever he is. I feel his pain.


Why? Are you a drunk, too?
Why do you want to know?


It would explain some of your behavior here.
