Mine:-))

Mine is right from a practical/realistic standpoint. If you disagree
please explain why.

If you think that the best solution is to have an open discussion with
Jan Drew then with all due respect you may have lost touch with
reality. I apologize if I misunderstood your comment. I don't know
what the acronym SHNMNBM means.

But losing touch with reality can be an undesirable effect of long
term engagement with JD.

All of the above?

Who is suggesting flooding this newsgroup with "useless messages". My
suggestion is to repeatedly post Jan's own words that clearly indicate
that she did not have mercury poisoning, that she now knows she did
not have mercury poisoning, and that she deliberately changed her
history to manipulate people into thinking that she did. If you think
that repeatedly posting *that* is useless flooding we can agree to
disagree.

 Not only is it not useless but it is very important to keep
unsuspecting scientifically naive people from acting on her lies and
also useful in that it has the best chance of getting Jan to get so
frustrated that she decides it is not worth it to stay here.

If you disagree with my assessment I would be very interested in
hearing why.

Aloha,

Rich
