Bill, 

You rant about a rumor and confirm the rumor.

People might think what you do is all right. Others not.

So far I don't see an error in what Junaid wrote. For me, Junaid remains a trusted contributor to this list. Perhaps if you used more capital letters it would be clearer.

So, now everybody thinks it's true, and folks like you just keep perpetuating it.  I've heard that Yogi posted an addendum to her guide to correct those rumors after a couple of years, but the damage continues when folks like you bring it up again.
