Discounting your clodhopping way with sarcasm at the beginning
of the preceding para., yes is the answer. At no time did I
state that we shouldn't trust anyone who had lied about
anything, as you are well aware. What I did say, and which seems
to have had some difficulty sinking in with you, is that if and
when people involved in any aspect of anomalous phenomena
research or investigation issue lies into the arena which are
subsequently discovered then we should not immediately trust
anything they say until they have provided the required
evidence. It doesn't matter whether it's Popey, Max Burns
(though obviously more fun when it is) or Peter Rojcewicz.

That must be about the fifth time I've made the same point in
slightly different ways. I trust you have now worked it out and
your anxious mind is at rest once more.

Happy Trails
