No, I'm not going to flame you, because I basically agree with you.  But
you don't have the situation quite right.

In article <JeRgy2w163w@dorsai.com> you write:

No, no, no!  This was never "hotly contested".  Someone was simply asked
what Kate's height is, and some of us simply answered the truth -- that
Kate lies egregiously about this.

Sorry, as I said above Kate cannot be trusted on this point.  Just look at
some of the pictures from the convention, and you'll see how short she is.
Vickie has met her, and that's how the most reliable estimate can be made.

Look, I agree with you.  But it wasn't a matter of a big argument.
Someone just wanted to know.  We may as well give correct answers when
people have questions.
