After stripping as described above, we are left with this. What tests have you applied to establish that 'she' is NOT a rat in a maze? I, for one, cannot testify to this, inasmuch as the only evidence is the volumnious material that appears under 'her' name. Even the 'her' appellation is unconfirmed. Similarly, I have no real evidence that Edward Nilges (aka Spinozza Eddie) is not a rat, possibly ensconced in a maze. Ultimately all the available evidence degenerates into electrical surges on a wire, none of which can be detected by my primary senses. -- "If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, don't use the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article.
