You sometimes evade questions from me and others who aren't in your killfile. You often reply to the posts concerned but without giving proper answers. No, I can't be bothered to find specific examples, but I'll let you know next time you do it.

I get the feeling that when, for (a general) example, I mention RTTM, bias on selection or the 85th percentile, you don't fully understand what I'm talking about, but rather than looking into it for yourself, you just ignore it because you suspect it will make your position look weak (and in any case you know it's not going to strengthen it).

Anyway, who's this new fifth person in your killfile? How exciting! If it's TMH then you have even less excuse to insult him (again, making unpleasant remarks about people that one has killfiled is exactly what Chapman does, though unlike with him, I do believe that you really have killfiled the people concerned).

Am I allowed to tell everyone who the other four people are? (Not that one of them will see it, since they don't seem to read URC anymore, and anyway I think they've killfiled me....) I must say I'm very surprised about one of them being there, as I've always thought of them remarkably and admirably measured. Still, your choice.
