DtG,
That would not be factual. I have no idea what anyone else has read, have you?

Yes, because we have discussed it openly.
If they had found something that contradicted me, it would have been posted.

Fred,
You first mentioned Hastings on the 7th December. LAST YEAR.

Much earlier actually Fred.
I have cited articles and essays written by Hastings, but never his book. I only read it because Jim made such an issue of it.
I did not cite that book once before I read it last week.
