It's curious that you don't address the problem that your own references reveal: From: Index of /raw/ __________________________________________________________________ [11]../ [12]cyp-1992.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:17 2254089 [13]cyp-1993.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:19 21564267 [14]cyp-1994.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:21 34176952 [15]cyp-1995.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:22 29133386 [16]cyp-1996.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:23 61664183 [17]cyp-1997.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:30 59523642 [18]cyp-1998.txt 10-Nov-2009 18:31 31488001 I will focus on the 1995 and 1996 archives, since they are the most relevant (F ound using the Chrome browser) Number of occurances in: String: [19]cyp-1995.txt [20]cyp-1996.txt jim bell 101 (the firstone is November 5, 1995) 3,678 (First being January 3, 1996) Assassination Politics 7 (the first being dated Dec 31, 1995) 298 (first being Jan 2, 1996) The complete omission of "jim bell" and "assassination politics" during the Apri l-October 1995 period MIGHT be innocent, IF the "1995" database only started lis ting postings in, say, November 1995, Innocent omission, But it didn't. It listed postings on January 1, 1995, but there is a major gap between about March 1995 and May 1995, and another one until July. I have to ask you, and everyone else here: I think complete omissions of data, over time, MIGHT be 'innocent'. But it appears that the July 1995-beginning of N ovember 1995 time frame have huge numbers of postings, but there is not even a s ingle reference to "Jim Bell" or "Assassination Pollitics" (don't know about AP. ..that's a lot of checking...) for at least 5 consecutive months, seven months i f you count April through October 1995. Who can explain why, during a period in which me and my AP were presumably one o f the bigger stories, there are NO NO NO references? Maybe you shouldn't even try to explain it. We are not suckers.
