In only the short time I have been on this list, I have twice seen Glenn
post completely unsolicited messages concerning updates on claims he has
made that showed that his original use of the argument might not have
been accurate. Totally unprovoked, not in the context of any discussion,
just a post saying, "Hey, I was wrong, and here is where you can find
updated information."

You, on the other hand, have made accusations without bothering to back
them up, and refused to retract those accusations even after the utter
failure to support them. Someone sound the hypocrisy alert!
