If Fred would say not simply that he thinks that the some of the Militant
coverage is fabricated, but also why he thinks this, it would be useful. (
For instance, does Fred know the 'true' expansion of the number of readers
etc)

Also, could Fred perhaps say whether he thinks that this relates to all of
the coverage, or just that on subscription drives.

Please dont take me to be challenging you fred- i always find your comments
interesting- i am simply following up your post.

I am raising this because i think it is important (especially in light of
the recent discussions on the US SWP)  for 'Marxmailers' to be given a clear
picture of what can, and what cannot be verified by facts.

Thanks.
