  OK. At this point, I gotta holler "Bullshit."
  This whole little world has heard my side of the story, and even if
nobody else cares, I'm really curious to hear your account of several
emails and phone calls from you to Mark Rodriguez of MDR Consulting this
past February. They concerned a PDP-11/93 that I had asked about on the
list.

  My post to the list - which I have archived if your memory fails you -
clearly indicates that while I was excited about the system, I had no
idea that it was valuable. Your emails to Mark - which I can produce as
well - partially quoted my post, but in such a way that it appeared that
I knew the machine's value and intended to cheat my employer. Your
phone calls, according to Mr. Rodriguez, furthered that impression.
  In both the email messages and the phone calls you offered to deal
directly with Mark, cutting me out of the picture.

  What's *your* story, Mr. List? 'Splain this one for me.
