Now, Porter,

I realize that you have mush for brains, but just to drive it home a bit...when someone refers to a photo of "us girls" that includes the "someone" making the reference as being "someone" in the photo.

See how that works?

Porter, sweetie. See that big thing in front of your face? That's a computer. The picture/painting is a "google image" punkin'. Ya know, like the kind you post on ya know, like a computer?

Hey Jersey Granny,

You made a reference that one of the girls in the image that you posted was YOU. I asked if they had color film back then to capture a color image of you as a young girl.

The "big thing in front of my face" is not a computer. It is a 23" Apple Cinema HD LCD screen. The computer is about two feet to the left of the screen.

Your age is really showing grandma.

Unfortunately, the text can't be found in the "mislaid" letter, which is the problem.

Since when did "holding a silly opinion" (of which we are all guilty) constitute a "sin"? Pretty funny, though.

A photocopy of a letter is just a piece of paper, apart from the content.

False. A copy would reflect it is an actual letter from Watson, secretary to the FP, on FP letterhead.

The content is faithfully preserved.

How do we know? There's no way to verify this since the original and all copies of the letter have conveniently disappeared. Pretty sloppy, in my opinion.

Write to Michael Watson. This your concern. It isn't mine.

It should be your concern, since you and Hamblin continue to rely so heavily on the 2nd letter to refute the 1st letter.
