What is it with you died-in-the-wool,
loyal-to-the-death types who are willing to sweep people's deaths
under the rug for the sake of your careers and/or reputations?

One could retort with "What is it with you 'died-in-the-wool' Internet
conspiracy theory nutters who deliberately post inflammatory comments
before retiring behind a screen of smoke and mirrors?"

Not all lurkers support you in e-mail.

I have read the posts on this group for several years now, and have
enjoyed the discussions and gentle disagreements that result. It is
clear that the regulars who are presently disagreeing so strongly with
you, know a *great deal* about the subject of manned spaceflight. What
they don't know, they are eager to learn about, when they are given the
chance. The information I have seen them freely provide is annotated
with clearly referenced source material (either via web-sites, books or
government records), so that the rest of us can look it up for ourselves
at leisure later on.

Unfortunately, when it comes to you and your postings about the Apollo 1
tragedy, we haven't seen a shred of verifiable evidence from you to back
up your claims. Without evidence, they are only *your claims*, and I
rather doubt they would stand up in a court of law on either side of the
Atlantic. When push comes to shove, you evade the searching questions
entirely, yet a cursory examination of your postings on this group to
date show that you expend a vast amount of time replying to what could
be considered to be trivialities. Please, either put up or shut up.

Also, in consideration of those of us who live overseas and have to pay
for internet connection call charges by the minute, please *trim your
replies*. I have noticed that you frequently tack three or four lines
onto an eighty-or-ninety line posting. You'll notice I trimmed your
posting above to the piece I was addressing - it's merely simple
Netiquette. Doesn't take much doing and helps people in the process.
