Re: Class Action Defamation Suit against Barret - Hey Pat
Posted by The other Patrick on 3/04/05
No Mary. I'm not Patrick Casanova. I knew someone would assume
that. So, I should call myself the other Patrick; or my middle
name, Anthony. None-the-less, Patrick Casanova's writings
weren't bad at all. I too wonder what happened to him. I sent
him an "introduction of myself email" a few weeks ago. No
response. I wonder if the worse happened to him; or even the
next-to-the-worse.
