He did. The judge ruled that I had authenticated them, most in the civil deposition Rosen took, even though I stated I could not be sure they were mine or if they had been messed with. What is oddest, is that they never just asked me for them. I would have given them the whole 535 pages, May to September, from my saved postings file had they asked. It seems like the only approach if anyone asks in any kind of deposition, is to have no idea if these marks on paper were yours or to just offer to give them true copies. Keith Henson
