Why? Are you accusing people of lying about the discussion? It took place,
although I'm almost positive 'johannessen' wasn't in the subject field. I
don't know why you didn't try maize, I don't know why you didn't try
sci.archaeology. It might have been too far back for dejanews, but it
definitely occurred!
