Yeah, I liked Legume's better also... but then again, I usually do. And Jack's response is not a semi-cop-out, it's a total cop-out. And note that Jack now claims to have inside information, but says he promised kupa he wouldn't reveal it... it's a very convenient position. But it is why he's now trying to pretend the story wasn't about CL, because the implication is that the story is based on this information that he is sworn not to reveal. So why write the story and put it in this forum in the first place? There are plenty of other sites that cater to fiction writers. There is even a writer's forum at this site, but Jack chose to put it here. But I thank Jack for his evasive non-defense of his cheap innuendo, for he has revealed it as such more effectively than I could have by myself. Which, incidentally, is why I noted his disappearance in my prior msg...I suspected he would rise to the bait.
