That's nonsense. First, the only thing I published about Brandt was a
brief and neutral stub, which after editing it with me he declared
himself happy with. But when he said he didn't want any article at
all, regardless of its content, I deleted it, because he and I were
the only ones who had edited it at that point. So he has no case. If
he ever thinks he's developed one, I can pass him the name of my
lawyer.

More importantly, if he were simply trying to identify me for legal
purposes, he'd have no need to speculate endlessly about me and insult
me on various websites.

Joe, I have to say that you don't seem to know much about this
situation and so I wish you'd stop posting about it. I don't mean that
disrespectfully -- you're very wise not to want to know much about it
-- but it's unhelpful to spread gossip that has no basis in fact.
