<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I don't see a '4- and 5- hour discrepancy'. In analyzing this incident like the 61 year old (to the day (...well almost)) Zapruder film, Tom's first email hit me at 7:09am. The second at 7:54am. And the third and fourth arrived with uncanny almost pinpoint accuracy on the half (actually 8:31am) and top hour (precisely 8:59am). This represents a window of just under 2 hours which is far less than Tom's assertion of 4 to 5 hours. Sunil's email fell harmlessly into my inbox at 9:02am, a mere 3 minutes after the last of Tom's multiple emails. Even using Sunil's timestamp as a benchmark, that would mean according to Tom's testimony that Tom would have fired off his first email AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST at either 4:02am (unlikely) or 5:02am (improbably) considering that this would deviate significantly from the timestamps of most of Tom's emails from historical records.<br><br>In conclusion, I feel that Paul's assessment is the most accurate in that 1) It has all the appearances to an outside observer that it might possibly have been a connection problem that Tom was unaware of thus was sending an email once every half hour and being puzzled that it wasn't showing up on v2020, and 2) Paul's decision to not get involved was a wise one especially in light of Paul telling Tom not to call the police on his behalf.<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:51:32 -0800<br>From: paul.rumelhart@gmail.com<br>To: sunilramalingam@hotmail.com<br>CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Paranoia in Pullman<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>I thought about suggesting that he might have a connection problem he wasn't aware of, but it turns out that my decision to leave him be and let him figure it out on his own was probably a good one.<br><br></div>Paul<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 3:48 PM, Sunil <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sunilramalingam@hotmail.com" target="_blank">sunilramalingam@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
