    Refute: The Encarta World Dictionary gives as it's second option: To deny an allegation or contradict a statement without disproving it.

    Backsliders.

    It's not exactly proof though, is it?

    The NZ Oxford dictionary gives denying or contradicting without evidence as it's third option.

  • Hard News: There is History,

    Sorry Jan if I was a bit confrontational.

    Look Mark (and 3410 and Russell) - you could all be right - it's a strange site to have popped up like that - but what if poor old Bob's a genuine first-timer? I mean I Google things. Don't we all?

    It is the same people - BB Internet
    Sorry, Jan, Tom was right

    Yes Mark - I got that on page 6. I'm just saying that no-one accused 3410 of promoting the site - so why accuse Bob (unless you know something I don't.)

    Hey Bob, I'm a bit confused: by "found this site" do you mean "built this site" or "was paid to promote it"? And by "informative" do you mean "exploitative"?

    Hey Tom! That's quite confrontational. Someone else pointed to the same site on page 6. Where were you then? Where was Bob for that matter? And I think we decided it was someone called Bruce.

  • Hard News: There is History,

    A viroligist interviewed by Sean Plunkett said that while people had died of the disease in Mexico it seemed to be milder in those who'd caught it since. I wonder whether this strain is tougher on poorly nourished people than on the well-nourished (although I'm certainly not qualified to make any assumptions at all.) It just doesn't seem to make sense that a virus would become less virulent as it spreads. Who knows?

  • Hard News: Dear Prudence,

    Thanks for the tip about Rockstar Energy Drinks. I will advise my three Facebook Friends - who with a bit of luck may have more friends than I have.

  • Hard News: For Good Friday,

    9/11 wasn't an act of war

    It probably was though, Giovanni, given the numbers in the Arab world that have been deprived of their land and everything else by some very nasty bullies.

    re Fletcher and McCarten - Sorry Mark - should have read right through before I leapt in.
