Surely you're aware that it's trivial to fake. I could "forward" you emails
from Pagliuca, Obie, or Saddam Hussein (doesn't he look like Karl Marx in with
that beard and hair?) in 10 minutes if I wanted to. That's not to say
definitively that you forged it, but as you noted earlier yourself, you have a
bit of a credibility deficit with all the feigning, feinting, and jesting
you've done. It's a fun game, for me as well. But it has a certain cost: you
then can't expect people to take anything you say or do at face value.

I told you, I hang on to every word you write and have a near-eidetic memory
for your verbal tapdancing. You think I was kidding? I don't know what humor
is.

Yes, Kestas, another attempt at humor that apparently never made it up 
to Hanover.

Well, that one sort of did, as I figured you were joking. But with you, one can
never be sure.

I'd search back through the archives for it but could there be 
any more punishing experience than having to read through dozens of one's 
own posts?  And yes, I do have a relative who is sportswriter.  It makes 
sense; who else would hire me?

See, that's a perfect example: were/are you lying, excuse me, joking about
having a relative who is a sportswriter, being a sportswriter yourself, or
both? Or perhaps the joke of someone's someone knowing a Celtics owner's cat's
third cousin was actually not a joke at all? Any of those three explanations
averred so far could be true, or, more likely, none of them. One just never
knows with you. That's what makes it fun. 

Don't ever stop teasing us, ya' hear?
