Anybody who is REALLY interested in the details can check that message and
the other messages in the day or two before and after. The whole story
should become clear if you follow through the thread over a couple of
days. You don't have to take my word for it because the discussions are
all in the public domain.

You will note that Chris Ambler and John Frangie, who make this claim,
are both from the same company. If you read through the whole thread to
get the context you will find a list of other participants at the meeting
and you will note that neither Jim Fleming nor myself was there. But one
other participant at the meeting *DID* comment on the events and his
comments do *NOT* agree with what John Frangie said above.

Seems to me that Jim Fleming is once again lying by ommission and
dragging mud all over everything because he cannot get his own way.
And if you were to review the IAHC list (a voluminous task) you would see
that the people who Fleming has called as witnesses have made some
clearly incorrect statements on numerous occasions on that list. That is
why I cannot take the above statement by John Frangie seriously.
