[fa.laser-lovers] confidentiality - a tricky question

From Les' messages about the blind tasting, I had no idea who won, who lost,
or even who entered.  From Braian's single message, I now know the answer
to all three!  Ironic, isn't it?

Actually, Bob, my message could not have given you any new information
because I do not have any information. I don't know the results of Les'
comparisons, and I wanted to make sure I got my note of suspicion out
before I learned the results, lest it look as though I was playing sour
grapes. Given Les' recent crusade to disparage Apple LaserWriters, I
was fairly confident that he included them, and given the fact that he
is continuing to talk about the results, I was fairly sure that his own
brand did best in the tests, but that is all just speculation.
