John Bradley stated for the record:
Hi I have been accused by David Gerard of being the number, for some reason. This is more to do with Gerard continued harasment of me (User Irate) and his need to appear to be protected you lot from things you do not understand. Her is the news it is Gerard that does not understand anything excpect manipulation. Vote any way you like but don't vote gerard.
I state with great solemnity and no sarcasm whatsoever that your endorsement is quite influential. I will certainly bear it in mind if Gerard ever appears in an election. Thank you for publishing it -- your opinion of people is important to me.
I can only hope that one day you will endorse me with the same sort of terms.
