Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01075)

Daniel,

If we are thinking of unidentified fake letters, I don't change a word in my position.

But as the dialogue evolves, more information gets available.

Principles do not change, the information available expands all the time. 

My posting of months ago is perfect for that moment.

Only stupid persons do not allow their view of things evolve as they get more info. 

I came to know later that Cooper was personally honest. 


Carlos.
