Re: Vogel Responds to Gee on Interpreter
I notice Gee has been completely absent from the comments section of his JSPP attempted hit-piece...It would seem he simply wants to speak and not listen.

A number of people questioned his theory, but Dr. Gree remained adamant about the Kolobian honey connection.
It was not until an outside reviewer pointed out that the entire episode of Winnie being stuck in a tree was from the fictional works of A.A. Milne, did the theory as to the origin of the honey die down. Still, it remained a sticky subject for Dr. Gree.
Bird in general and Penguin in particular: Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
