What you say is true, however, yesterday's events now prove that Pete
& his lawyers are actively going to fight these allegations which, for
the first time, says to me that Pete:

A) Is not a pedophile
B) Most likely does not have any incriminating evidence on his computer
C) Was not lying or making up stories about taking an active role in
   combating child porn

Before yesterday we all *hoped* the above was true, but with the silence
from Pete's camp, no one could say for sure.

Now, it seems like the evidence, rather than pointing to guilt, is now
pointing to innocence (of Pete being a pedophile - he's still guilty of
using his credit card to access the site).

Agreed.  No "I told you so's" or angry letters demanding apologies.

> I'm going to wait for additional positive developments

Fair enough.  I've emailed the Howard Stern show & some ABC News outlets.
I'll admit, I'm kind of bummed that the news outlets I've looked at are
*not* running the story.  Really, that's not right.  They jumped all over
the story when it looked like he *was* a pedophile; at least they could 
run the story that indicates his original excuse may have been valid. 

BTW, I don't know if you saw my earlier post but that Berlin '72 CD has
dreadful sound.  It's not worth getting unless you're a completist.
