Hello August,

On Monday January 17 2022 11:40, you wrote to me:

I do not care what youthinks I should do. I was merely pointing out that there are some loose ends in your reasoning.

That is precisely what I am going to do. I do not know what is wrong with Janis but is is clear to me that she did not want to share it with us or she would have.  I am going to respect that and not bother her with it. I will leave her alone.

No need. I am not interested in the e-list and so I am not interested in how Sean managed to get this area listed. All I did was pointing out to you that him getting the password from Janis is neither the only possibility nor the one best fitting Ockham's razor.

AA> There is no point expounding on maybees and whatifs. You know

I am not. I am merely pointing out that Sean has not backed up his claim that he received e-mail from Janis. Lacking that, I will file it as "unsubstantiated".


Cheers, Michiel
