Again complete and utter nonsense you assumed there was no URL and
made very clear allegations that have now been proven to be incorrect.
Now please retract your slur.

You have no right to determine what is or what is not proper or
inproper usenet etiquette.

Again I did not put any university down I postd a quote from a single
student.

"Yeah, right. Have a chat with your 'solicitor friend Marty about
rules of evidence and hearsay". So sue me!

Well you have been putting a fair bit of effort into making a case as

A personal attack, I see originality is not one of your redeeming

lol, Again complete and utter assumption and nonsense. Though it is
ironic that you post this considering you use a book published in 1926
as a style guide for your English gramar.

yawn, look I will not hand out my own contact details on here and I
will certainly not be handing out a friends. You can make all the
assumptions you want we know how good at that you are. Now if you want
to prove your identity then do so! Though again you and I both know
you cannot this is why your posting all this nonsense, to avoid paying
a measly $100 dollars to a terminal illness charity.

I have yet to see any terms that say Seimi etc decide who wins the
wager, so again I challenge you to show me the terms of the wager
which show you have won.
