Because, Greg Zacharius, Hoffman's presentation is arrogant, outrageous, contains, in my personal opinion, what would be slander and/or libel if Twain were alive and not a public figure. If he made such a preposterous claim about me, with no more evidence than he has regarding Clemens, he would be up to his eyeballs in lawsuits. You might be amazed at the mountain of email I have received from members of this list who feel exactly as I do. Further, you sound a little like you enjoy the titillation of these pointless and baseless allegations yourself. If you do, then you, too, sir, are, in my personal opinion, a nitwit.
