ok, i see that lee too is replying to threads i initiated...

i don't know if he's responding to me, or to others who
have posted in those threads, because -- as i've said --
i have reinstated my policy not to read lee's messages...

i have also found that -- unlike keith, who i believe is
often "genuinely" confused about the topic at hand --
lee is prone to intentional attempts to confuse things.

(amusingly, jim falls into _both_ groups.)

so it might not be apparent if lee is responding to _me_
or to _someone_else_.  but whatever the case might be,
the situation stands.  if you would like to see me respond
to anything that lee has stated, or questions he's asked
-- whether to me personally or to anyone else as well --
or if you think i will be _stumped_ by what lee said and
you wanna see me stumped, rephrase in your own words.
i will respond, carefully and thoroughly, just like always...

otherwise, i'll assume that y'all wish to see these issues
die a graceful death, if that is indeed still a possibility...

thank you for your time and attention.       :+)

p.s.  some of you might wonder why my antagonists
even put out their stuff, since i immediately refute it.
the reason is pretty simple...  they know that _many_
of the people in their clan have me kill-filtered, thus
their target-audience never hears my refutation, and
thus believes whatever falsehoods they have planted.
but of course the misimpressions inside those heads
will die when their bodies die, whereas the _archives_
of this list will persist for a _long_ time in cyberspace,
a permanent record of all the recurring dishonesties...
