Tom,
I didn't call Roll a liar. I merely suggested that, as a reason why
Hampsten doesn't mention him, that perhaps he (Roll) tells the story
differently than how Hampsten remembers it. Maybe its Hampsten who's
memory is faulty. I don't know. Surely you can appreciate how some
memories, especially memories of epic events, grow with age. Sort of
like the old adage, 'the older I get, the faster I was.' FWIW, if you
didn't see the humor in my final paragraph, you really should relax a
bit. Not only was I poking fun at Roll, I was providing a bit of
absurd proof that perhaps I DO have something against Roll. As if his
pronounciation of TdF is really that big a deal. C'mon, man, lighten
up.
