     You must admit that the above does not exactly respond to the
quoted observation: i.e. that, whatever the history of the file, it may
well, as claimed, have contained 4D elements.

     Regarding your addition: Do not be too offended if it is observed
that many faked, bogus, etc. anti-Dr. Tom stories and "reports" -- some
truly bizarre-- have been, personally, tracked down and exposed as lies.

     Just the fact that three or four persons have no better use for
their time and web site resources than to devote them to attacking a
single individual tells us a great deal about what to expect. Putting it
kindly, these persons are not 'playing with a full deck'. It is
impossible to accept any information from such persons as valid. It is,
in fact, impossible to believe anything they say.

     If, at any time, any of these persons or known associates were
involved in obtaining, transferring, processing, evaluating, touching,
or looking at any of your samples, you can save youself a lot of bother
and trash them.
