Why do you have an axe to grind against Channel 10? Are you so naive you
think channels 8, 39, and 9 wouldn't jump on these incidents if they were
true? Not to mention the Reader, our own group of muckrakers who tell us
all the misdeeds of the Coply family.

I think you need to open your eyes and learn some skeptisism. And if I didn't
have a sleeping cat on my lap I'd get a dictionary to spell skeptisicm right.

Sorry, but, though all of this may be true, an anonymous posting about
cover ups lacks much credibility.

We're supposed to believe *you*, Mr Anonymous? If you're so willing to smear
people, put your name on it. Otherwise your repugnance rings a little hollow.

All the better if it were true. Since no one has provided any substantiation,
I assume it to be a smear. horstm could also use a clue on how to use his
editor to cut down included text.

Will somebody please post the article that is being responded to in these posts?

Nobody has done it so what is the point of posting if no one else knows
what the
hell you're talking about?

As requested by someone in this thread, here is the repost that
"wizard" made a few weeks back. Note, I did _NOT_ post this only
reposting it so others can see it.

By reposting it you make yourself just as liable for the smear as the
original author. Did you take *any* steps to confirm the report before
reposting it? The DA's phone number is in the phonebook, btw.

I don't think so, since it is public domain, can be found on many news
servers. What, you want to sue me? Have fun doing it. I need not take
any steps to confirm this as _I_ did _NOT_ write it. Ask the person who
did. Later,

Hello . . . this is not what I call a repost of the original posting. It
never explains what the fuck it proposes to expose, therefore, what is the
point of reposting this stupid thing. And so I again request the exact
and complete posting. Otherwise, what's the point of posting your
responses if we (me) don't know what the charges are?

I hope this is clear enough.

I hate to say this but all I did was follow up on the original
article quoting everything without any editing. What you see here is
what was writen by "wizard" unchanged. It still remains on sdsu.edu news
server which is how I even found the damn thing in the first place. If
you have any further questions, problems whatever the hell bothers
you....I have nothing to do with it. Address the author of this, not
me. For the person who took out the quote's of "wizard" to make this
look like I wrote it, you might try avoiding this the next time. I will
even CC the original posting to Dave. I will no longer address any issue
on this topic.
