"John Atkinson" said:

It is fair to point out, George, that Arny has requested he
not have to respond to my invitation until February 1. I have
agreed to wait until then, though to be honest, I don't know
why it would take so long to say "yes" or "no."

Right from the horse's mouth:

Arny Krueger, RAO, 17-12-2004:

" My strategy with respect to the debate seems to have been stated
very clearly. My post to Middius on the topic should have been very
clear, even to a mental deficient such as himself. I'm just sitting
here chortling away, watching the Atkinson supporters wet themselves
in public. "

BTW, in response to some suggestions that I have received
suggesting that I accept a substitute for Mr. Krueger -- Tom
Nousaine, for example, or Norman Strong, or Howard Ferstler, or
Stewart Pinkerton -- my invitation to debate me and my offer of
reasonable expenses were both specifically issued to Arny
Krueger, not to anyone else.

If it has to be one of Them, I'd suggest Pinkerton.
