Given that Louis Blair has made no comment on nearly all of my earlier post

he thinks that he has understood what I have written there.

Then I hope that Louis Blair may understand why I have *not* been attentively
following the latest developments, if any, between Tim Hanke and himself.

Then I regret it that any innocent readers here could have obtained the
'somewhat misleading' impression that there were *any* 'continuing battles
between Louis Blair and Tim Hanke'. (Would Tim Hanke like to confirm that?)

So is 'thirty days' supposed to be the rec.games.chess.politics 'statute
of limitations' or the expected memory limit of a 'normal' RGCP reader? :-)

*If* Louis Blair would like to declare now that his battles against Tim Hanke
are *not* 'continuing' (as I had assumed) and have concluded, then I shall be
ready to accept his declaration.
