That would be your last spam posted saying that you won't post
anymore, and really mean it.


When do you plan on doing this?

Well, given that most of what he winds up posting is stuff he wrote
dog's years ago, perhaps he already has.

Ed goes on and on about famous last words, but like that unknown muck that
you try to scrape off the sole of your shoes, he's never quite completely
gone.

Very amusing, Ed, but here's my candidate as an example of "famous
last words:"

I wrote the following to you:

"Apparently, with respect to this one, you were shown that the
apparent skull was just an accumulation of clay. One of the letters
that YOU posted, Ed, has the scientist explaining this to you, washing
off the clay, and leaving you satisfied that there is no skull in the
boulder. That's what the letter that YOU posted said, Ed, and you
have never contradicted it. Several times I have asked you about
this, and why you can't seem to supply a recent photograph of this
particular specimen."

That was in:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=35fa3772.0308291851.3f84a7a1%40posting.google.com

In reference to this URL that you provided:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/skullb.jpg

You responded (surprise!) with:

"Well, I will NOW, Attorney Sienkiewicz. Produce the letter and I will
be more than happy to supply a rebuttal."

That was in:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=3f5018a4.58922828%40news.verizon.net

And was posted on August 29th.

I provided my evidence in:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=35fa3772.0308300220.1c81899b%40posting.google.com

This was posted on August 30th.

There was, of course, no rebuttal from you.

It would appear that "I will be more than happy to supply a rebuttal"
is a great example of "famous last words" from YOU, eh, Ed? After
all, you were never heard from again on that subject.

See what happens when you tell so many lies, Ed? Sooner or later, you
lose track of them, and it's so much easier to catch you at them.
