That disgusting Weemba sent me e-mail, of his typically abusive kind,
in which he denies that he said #2.

If you are correct in your assertion that he said (5), which is just
a paraphrase of (2), then you have given me further evidence of his
intellectual dishonesty.

Since I don't have his messages any more, I can't verify that this is
true; do you have one of the messages where he said it, or failing
that, do you recall who it is that was archiving the worm discussion?
