Let's see ... all your witnesses are either dead or not talking.  Hmmmm, guess 
that makes it your word against mine.

What I will say is that I did not act alone but who the others are is none of 
your business.  I will also say that when I suggested allowing you to 
participate the comment from one was 'it would be like letting an incontinent 
old dog in the house.  You know he will pee the carpet just not when or 
where.'  

I am content to let others judge which of us is telling the truth.
