[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Roeland and all,

  Roland, your right.  The problem I have is that 1.) This is a
public mailing list, and 2.) Jeremy made a false assumption,
or at least a guarded assumption in my name.  That is defamation
by definition.  And yes I take great offense to it, but FAR more
important is that this very sort of attitude is becoming pervasive
and impacts accordingly anyone indiscrimenently and harmfully,
based on a false assumption.  Bad personal or professional
policy, bad practice, and I categorically reject it fully!

  This again articulated differently, if we are to conduct a productive
discussion and debate on relevant issues, false claims, false positives,
or outright unknown assigned assumptions must cease and be rejected
without further consideration and attributed as they were made.  Yet
I will accept a public apology from Jeremy if he cares to give it...
