<body class='hmmessage'>Keely stated:<BR>

"I would not knowingly pass along false information, and if this is not a true story -- if it's not an accurate account of any attempts, if there are any, of Palin's attempts to take certain titles off the shelves -- then I shouldn't have posted it. Dale Courtney says it's false. I don't know. But if someone out there can demonstrate to me that what I passed along was, in fact, false, then I apologize now and will again.<BR>
<BR>
The authority cited by Dale Courtney, in repudiating Keely's claim, is a blog (that's right, a blog) titled "Explorations", whose mantra is "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense", at:<BR>
