Thanks for pointing that out. I dumped a text file in there when I created the account in February of 2005, more or less just to explain the meaning and significance of the screen name I'd decided upon, didn't even format or spell check it, and have not revisited it since.
That was despite best intentions of getting some interesting things I've gathered over the years in there, an audio file of an old Regulator drinking song about my collateral ancestor Ninian Hamilton at the Eno, photos of the memorial of The Battle Of Alamance, that sort of thing.
You know what "they" say, about the cobbler's kids and shoes, though.
It's high time I did something about it.
Yep. I know all about cobbler’s kids and shoes. All too well! I also know about dumping and forgetting.
I don’t agree with you about Polarik. He derailed the lie that was being pushed, and he did it systematically and logically. Anyone who studied his work have certainly been free to refute it and those who have refuted it have not detailed their reasons. The man has been criticized, heaven knows, but the body of work stands on its own.
To me, exposing the forgery is what’s important - not mounting a campaign against the person who exposed that forgery.
