Let me try to type it again (copy & paste, and btw, if I have said,
as you wrongully quote me, 87.5 + 170K, I would have been off not with
50% but with approx. 200 % as 100% of 87.5 = another 87.5). And quite
frankly, seeing how you continue to not admit you made a mistake, I
don't expect you to beg my pardon....<br>

So, I am not a native-English speaker, and I could be excused, when I
make a mistake, but here's how I read it, and you, as an English-native
speaker, probably would have read it the same, if you were not
somewhat... I don't know (afraid to publish a politically incorrect
word here)...: <br>
<br>
" [<a href="http://syr.edu">syr.edu</a>] says Milton has received $ 87.500...", but there's no
information about the rest of the $ 170.000 [rest = $ 82.500]...
awarded to the MIGP by the ford... [and are there other donors?]"
Obviously for someone like you, who knows everything around the IGP,
you could have said, "Oh, Veni, it's not $ 170K, it's $ 175K, and $
87.5 is half of this; the [<a href="http://syr.edu">syr.edu</a>] reports in the excel spreadsheet
you linked only the part of the funding for the 2006-2007, but the
actual grant is $ 175K. Instead, you wrote it as if the amount $ 170 K
is made by me. And I considered this as you saying I am a liar. <br>

You're right, everyone makes mistakes, including you (unlesss, of course, you consider yourself a God, huh?) ...<br>

The point was that you said I am a liar. And I just pointed out to the
facts, which you don't like. They are not bad facts, they are just
facts. <br>
