Let's look at the full header I attached:

>I remembered someone's comment on the tpg newsgroup about the ACLU having

>ago.

Indeed, this is true.  I do in fact remember such an article.  I didn't
claim I could guarantee it's correctness 100%, I merely said I remember such
an article.  My memory is correct.  The "false claim" is not mine, but--if 
false--is the original author's mistake.

>I believe they no longer take such cases, and stick to "liberal" agenda
>type cases nowdays.

Again, I merely state that I "believe" something.  I don't say "<X> is true."

Here I point out that I can't guarantee the article was correct, so I go
to researched articles.

I think it was very unfair to imply that I lied or made up anything.
