Again I ask you to retract your wild and clearly incorrect accusation
"There is no URL in existence, and you made the post up just to
denigrate an institution you know absolutely nothing about (and cannot
even distinguish from Ohio University). You are, pure and simple, a
bare faced liar. Case proven and closed".

Maybe then you should try and make a wager with every financial and
governmental institution I can name or with yourself. You have have
not provided any proof of identity which cannot be faked especially on
a forum like this. You have had ample time to do so and have failed.
Now back up your foolish wager and donate $100 to the Foyle Hospice as
your squirming is now becoming dull.
