Re: ACE Points for Oracle-L

Mladen,

who wrote /(Emphasize mine)/ "/I//don't particularly care for the aces, masters or the associates of the fabled furniture store ("Oak Table"). *I've learned some truths about that long time ago* //, but that is not something that I would be willing to discuss at length on this list"? /Your ghostwriter? Somebody misusing your email address? You are hinting at something you learned, but you are not naming it (=gossip) neither you are producing evidence (=unfounded). I was facing behavior like that for the first time when I was about six years old. Even then I knew kids speaking like that just want to make themselves look interesting. Thus, fortunately, Wittgenstein's quote is most relevant.
