Well, that's thoroughly put _me_ in my place. I'll tell you
what, Jerry - with friends like you, who needs enemies?


Martin Shough

I wouldn't worry too much Martin. Jerry always has difficulty
agreeing with people who agree with him. Vide his, and Peter
Rogerson and my views on David Hufford's book 'The Terror That
Comes In The Night'. I doubt that any neutral observer could get
a cigarette paper between us, but Jerry insists that we have
totally opposing opinions.

Maybe it's that he just can't bear not to be thought of as the
sole source of ufological wisdom!
