Sorry, I don’t have a ping list for Obamaramadingdang. I just wing it. I’ll try to remember to ping you. BTW, it seems techdude has been getting lots of harrassment. Either that or it is a convenient excuse not have to fight the critics.

To be brutally honest, Pissant, I, like others who have tried replicate his work, cannot see where there is any "erased text." Plus, his claim that Maya's COLB was used to make the forgery runs counter to my claim that the forgery is a drop-dead clone of DeCosta's COLB -- a fact that TechDude dismissed as a "bizarre coincidence."
I'm defending his work because of my agreement with TD to give him the benefit of the doubt -- but as you saw the other day, I was pissed that my work was excluded from their "Exclusive--Breaking Story."
I never even got a chance to see it before it was posted.
Originally, TD, TechDude, and I were supposed to work jointly. But, then TechDude cut and ran to AtlasShruggs to get his own "Exclusive" report to the exclusion of my work and everyone else.
TD was not happy about him going renegade on us, but then she does the same thing with him, announcing that he found the "Smoking Gun," about two weeks after I published my "smoking gun (now cannon)."
Can both TechDude and myself be right? NO. Not the way he presented his results. It allows zero room for anything I did. Plus there are ideas that he ripped from mine without attribution.
At the end of the day, their is only one, true "smoking gun," whose ability to be replicated is easy and available. Not so with TechDude's complicated procedures.
Whatr can I say, but that only my findings are truly bullet-proof, incontrovertible, and undisputed. TechDude promised to deliver another report that gives the details of what he did so that it could be replicated by people who have no prior experience with Photoshop or GIMP. Personally, I would not hold my breath waiting for it because others in the audience ARE Photoshop savvy and they, too, could not reproduce what he found.
It's pretty hard for me to defend someone who co-opted my ideas and published work that is vulnerable to criticism.
