If they were sent to Backes (some months ago,) just how did your buddy
get hold of them?
And how about the other folks who've chimed in, saying that they
received emails from the same IP? Are they all Ops also, Ralph? Sure
they are!

How on EARTH does this prove you had nothing to do with it, Ralph?
I suggest that you stick with something you actually supposedly *do*
know something about. Like bending bones. Because analysis of pixellated
nth copies of out of focus photographs isn't your forte, Ralph. (Though
as I look up in the sky, I see a doggie in the clouds. Therefore, I'm an
expert in meteorology!)
I find it hard to believe a fellow in Puerto Rico would care...

Sure he did.

If he knows what he's talking about, then how on earth can he say
'beyond any doubt' that you had nothing to do with it?

You aren't paying attention, Ralph.

Of *course*. Did you not pay attention, Ralph? Backes made it quite
clear how to send a message "allegedly" to be from that IP. That it's a
legitimate offshore address was never in question. So easy a, uh,
*child*, could do it.
Amazing how many of those IP addresses in the hops don't show where they
are. Perhaps they're super secret CIA addys, huh, Ralph?
Of course, I *do* wonder just what piece of email you managed to get
your hands on to trace it.
Oops.
Honestly, Ralph, you don't understand the whole point of the original post.
