Mr. Krueger, on December 7, 2004, at the instigation of
Michael McKelvy, I invited you to debate me in person at the
forthcoming Home Entertainment 2005 Show, scheduled to take
place in New York at the end of April. (See r.a.o. message
. com.) I

You responded that while you were interested in taking part
in this debate, you needed some time to come to a decision.
Your specific words were "Of course that's a long way from
home, but let's see if I can put something together..." and
"I will give you my *final answer* by the end of January,
if that's all right with you."

In response, I told you on December 12 that I needed to know
your decision by February 1, 2005 (see r.a.o. message
.com).

Back then, February 1 was more than 6 weeks in the future,
so I didn't felt it necessary to remind you of the
invitation. However, as that deadline is now next Tuesday,
I really do need a Yes or No answer by 10am that morning,
as I am meeting with the magazine and Show management later
that day to make the final decisions over the Show's events
program.


John you have my answer now, "Yes"

I only delayed answering because of the posturing by Middius and his
crowd.
I hope that you picked up on the fact that the only reason I delayed
my
answer was to give them plenty of time to posture about how I was not
going
to agree with your invitation.



Remember the Scott Wheeler lawsuit? Remember how "George M. Middius"
said you would apologize to avoid the threat of legal action? Then he
shifted gears and predicted that Wheeler would prevail in court (as did
Sad-sackman). Then, when Wheeler's "case" collapsed, "George" fell
silent. Sort of like Ed Shain disappearing from RAO when Vergance went
bust. ;-)

So, now we can expect "George" to post endlessly about how you will
"back out" at the last minute because you fear "Lord Atkinson.....
