Steve,
I said, "Only two people on Mudcat supported intervention back then.
Jim Carroll and me. "

That was a fact.

Your reply, "You don't know that, Keith. I for one didn't say. " was plain stupid Steve.
Was I expected to name every Mudcat person who had not bothered to contribute or express a view?

The fact remains that only two people on Mudcat supported intervention back then.
Jim Carroll and me, but Steve Shaw and about a thousand others said nothing about it at all.
OK?
