Chris:  This is bullshit.  

YOU are the one who are attributing quotes to Ken.  

On Wed. 8/26/98 at 16:06 you wrote:

     "WKPP's Sallot says "the bends can always be fixed.""

Ken came back immediately and informed you that he had never
made that statement.

Both these lists are archived.  If you want to quote someone,
its YOUR responsibility to make sure the quote is accurate and
its YOUR responsiblity to provide adequate context for the 
quotation.

It isn't Ken's job to make sure you get your facts right.  If
you want to take issue with what someone once wrote on the
list.  YOU go to the archives, YOU find the statement, and 
YOU provide the context so that the reader is assured
that the quotation was not taken out of context.  

Otherwise, stop wasting our time with this drivel.
