That and stop using such obvious ploys as the old "offhand comment using
purported 2nd hand information" trick.  I could just as easily say
"Didn't I hear somewhere on the net that Kristoffer likes to wear
women's clothing?" and I wouldn't have to supply a shred of supporting
evidence for my bizarre statement.  After all, I'm only suggesting that
I *might* have read it, and the comment referred to certainly wasn't
*mine*, so... :-)
