You know, the page is the exact copy of the one written in 1997, there
has been no change in it before I uploaded it this morning. I don't
know who was behind the IUnknown name as your message was not signed,
thanks to your message I know :-)

I don't want to let people know who was bad or good or whatever. As I
said, it is only for historical reasons I uploaded it this morning, I
can shorten the names, replace with *** or even remove the pages, it
is not of great interest.

But all I know is that the pages were towards Dr. Tom but not towards
you, it has never been titled the way you said. I remember the story
with Dr. Tom but with you, I have to admit I don't know what you were
accused of (is that the FTP site you mentioned earlier?), can you
refresh my memory?

Thank you,
