OK, let's cut to the chase. What's the point of advancing that "horribly
biased and tragically flawed" account, if not for self-promotion?

(PS. There's nothing wrong per se with self-promotion, just don't pretend
that it amounts to something more than that.)

Well, if it were just an amusing story I wouldn't mind it so much, even if I
had to struggle to find morsels of fun in it. But the point is that every
few months or so someone on this list confuses what you claim is a fun story
with broader historical facts. That's why I included the links to the
archives, where months ago the same confusion reared its ugly head and not
for the first time.

That really is just too lame a tactic to avoid the issue. I'll continue to
respond to any attempt to hijack history, in jest or otherwise.
