By the way, for a little more clarification...

In that excerpt from 2006, in that forum... which is being attributed to me...    The FACT is....   My post was the one at the top.     The message I was REPLYING TO was the one at the bottom...

In other words, my words were at the top --- before the word "QUOTE(tdperhs..." etc.

The words after  "QUOTE(tdperhs..."   ....is the other guy's post.....   the post to which I was replying.

Those words about a "virgins and newbies" and "a three pronged attack"....   were NOT my words.    

You can see clearly that I was quoting that other guy.
I'm quoting this here because it's a lie, and an easily disproved one. You can find Bruce's comment in its original context here. You'll notice three things. Firstly, while the display of quotes is somewhat broken, quotes are consistently terminated by a slightly wider vertical space than normal - which means the quote is actually a single paragraph and "a three pronged attack" is Bruce's words. Secondly, you can see the post he's quoting above his and confirm it is a single paragraph. Thirdly, in that page and all three preceding pages the only mention of a three-pronged attack I can find is Bruce's.

Edit: To be entirely clear, the "virgins and newbies" paragraph was a quote and not written by Bruce, but in my opinion that was already fairly obvious even from the formatting-stripped version originally posted on here.
