Subj: Re: Paul Dore's request Date: 98-11-21 06:29:50 EST From: pdore@web-computing.demon.co.uk (paul dore) To: Phikent@aol.com Dear Kent, Many thanks for your reply. I am sorry if my investigations have implicated yourself and you are innocent. All I ever wanted to do was find out who used my CV to perpetrate this hoax as it has caused me no end of bother. TTR is most definitely implicated, if he ripped off your web site this would also fit - and maybe you can understand how this would appear to implicate yourself in my eyes. Have you ever been in contact with TTR before ? Why would he copy your site and perpetuate this hoax ? I must say I was most impressed with your web site authoring abilities. The content I am not so sure about :)) Thank you for sending a most kind letter. I was expecting a real "flame mail" given my insinuations. Would you like me to reword my findings ? As for TTR, I have no time for him. He has not responded to a single E-Mail I sent. regards Paul Dore -----Original Message----- From: Phikent@aol.com To: pdore@web-computing.demon.co.uk Cc: Rubie2zDay@aol.com ; lstell@glasgow-ky.com Date: 21 November 1998 00:45 Subject: Re: Paul Dore's request >>Subj: Paul Dore's request >>Date: 98-11-20 19:08:49 EST >>From: lstell@glasgow-ky.com (James Larry Stell) >>To: Phikent@AOL.COM > >>Kent: > > Paul Dore wants you to email him.
