I will be reading them at St. Anne's, too. By the way, I've passed your comments on various web pages on to London solicitors. Since they are false statements, I sincerely hope that they recommend filing suit. Your email of a year ago, which contained assurances that you "wanted to get it right" with respect to Nizkor and my funding, should entertain the Court no end, in view of the fact that your allegations are outright lies, and that you have been advised, beginning February 1998, that they were false. Unlike the case of Dr. Lipstadt, in which you bemoan her failure to make "a simple phone call" to determine the facts, you have been given the facts, and you have continued to make your false assertions. "I am anxious to get the links and details right." (Feb. 1998) .... my solicitor was particularly fond of this one: "I am anxious to get things right, as always" (Mar. 1998) Have a nice day, Mr. Irving. -- The Nizkor Project-----------------------http://www.nizkor.org Ken McVay, Director.ICQ 7015822. http://www.nizkor.org/~kmcvay Pentium III: Big Brother Inside
