Again Anya, I must thank you for making my point.  You say you are basing 
your slam of Master Tarl on the "perception" that you have that this 
"Anonymous poster" is connected to his household through some "nebulous 
connection" that they are using the signature of "Route 44 gang".  A 
nick-name you say was dreamed up in Namron and included in an accidental 
public post from Tadhg.  I might point out that Tadgh makes no mention of 
who exactly he includes in this "Route 44 gang".  You yourself state that 
it is very easy to get an anonymous E-mail address and that this poster 
could be anyone.  I could make a case "FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE" that you are the 
anonymous poster and that the reason behind this is to smear and discredit 
Master Tarl as a part of some personal vendetta.  Now let me say 
immediately, that I don't believe what I just wrote to be true, but that it 
is just as valid an unproven statement as what you have posted as your 
reasons.  I think that you need to give some thought to what you have 
posted here and then perhaps you will see that you do owe Master Tarl an 
apology.

Sir Burke
