Ah, you don't seem to know how usenet message-id's work. This might
work for you then:

<news:l2Jqj.81887$rc2.15293@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or if that doesn't work, try this:

Frank sent you private email in response to your own request in this
thread. Later Frank said "When this issue first came up, you, along
with Bob Zale, asked me for proof of my initial statement.", in
response to Michael Mattias, who never asked for a private email in
this thread. So I tell him he's got the two of you mixed up, along
with the question plus response I'm talking about:

Don't you mean "after" instead of "before"? I've already said that I
haven't seen the forum messages as they were posted, and from reading
here (carefully) I concluded that I didn't need to bother go finding
them, because some some messages were deleted. All there is left for
me to get informed is right here in this newsgroup.

I'm going to stop putting any more time into this. Obviously nobody
involved seems to want to resolve this issue. Instead people are now
starting to call me careless and ignorant for my trouble. I can assure
you that I'm neither, so I'll just file this under miscommunication
and be done with it. Goodbye.
