I want to thank those of you who have made comments to me on an individual basis. I think most of us have common ground for agreement on various issues. On the issues of freedom of speech, religion, and expression, I can make no compromise. On the issues of the "Vanishing Holocaust," I retain the right to question and investigate. One of the individuals who contacted me said that to doubt is more virtuous than to take on faith. So I have doubts. I offer my deepest apologies to those of you who lost relatives in the tragedy of World War II. 'Twas not my intention to insult you. I make no apology to anyone who keeps connecting my name with the term "Nazi" in your subject headers. I understand that the net frowns on Ad Hominems. Well, so be it. A rose by any other name is still a rose. An Ad Hominem is still an Ad Hominem even used in a header. As far as the publishing of individual mail, I personally have nothing to hide. Any comments I make to any of you individually, feel free to use as you wish. But please have the courtesy to use the full context. Then I won't have any excuse to point and say,"See? What did I tell you? A typical <whichever>." I extend my best wishes to everyone on the net for this holiday season, for whichever holiday you celebrate. I'll be around every so often to keep you honest. Illegitimati non carborundum. --Don Black

You have yet to answer to many postings, Mr. Black. For the man who claimed that he never liked to say anything without having *two* sources (your words, remember?), the readers of the net are still waiting to see your so called "facts". You have posted controversial material, and you have questioned a lot of other people (you say that you have the right to question others, but it sure looks like others don't have the right to question you). So where are your answers to the net's questions? I must assume that you have chosen to ignore all these postings because you do not have answers. (translation: you really are either a liar or a racist, or both). If you can't back up your statements with facts, then I can only conclude that you cannot answer because you are wrong in the first place. Now you are going to hide behind your terminal...is that standard IC behaviour? Are you afraid to face up to the net or don't you have any facts at all? Paul Shindman
