    I have deleted nothing that looked remotely like a computation of the
amount of energy needed to deal with the water in a corpse.  At least, in
the English language.

    Anybody?  Has anyone seen Mr. Giwer post a detailed computation of the
number of calories needed to handle the water in cremating a corpse? 
Please provide me with the article ID, subject, and date - anyone, not
just Mr. Giwer.  I really, really, want to see it. 


>  Why do you not post yours so I can do the same thing?  

    I will do it after you post yours - remember, your claim, your burden
of proof, therefore you first.  Repost them as a followup to this article
(assuming you posted them elsewhere and I missed them).  That shouldn't be
so hard, should it?  Post the subject, date, and article ID of the article
I am supposed to have edited them out of.  Or the DejaNews URL.

    Psychic prediction: Mr. Giwer will never post his evidence.

    You will never know unless you post yours where I can see them.  You
are also invited to send an email copy.

    Backing the lying Giwer-troll into a corner, of course.  I did not
delete any computations of the number of calories needed to deal with the
water in igniting a corpse.  Mr. Giwer does not provide the date, subject,
and article ID (or DejaNews URL) of his article where I allegedly did so. 
He or anyone else is cordially invited to supply this information to
document the charge.

    If you can repeat that a few trillion times it will become true.

    This is _too_ easy.

        As you will need on the order of 30,000 kcal you are not going to get
that out of 2 kg of coke.  That is only a ballpark on boiling out the
water while maintaining the same temperature.

[Remainder deleted.  Thanks to DejaNews, again.]

    See the 30,000.  So, are you posting in your sleep?  Or are you (as
some people suspect) allowing other people to post through your account
and you are not aware of what they are posting in your name?  Or will you
declare that this is a Marduk forgery?
