Obviously, it's a circular argument - we all knew that before you told us.
The point is that for now one supports the other (until one or both are proven to be hoaxes).
It is worth noting here, once again, that our 'shoddy hoax' has been supported by a hoaxer who was prepared to access Home Office files (as I recall) and slip the 'faked' Sept 17 letter into a genuine Home Office docket (I think) for discovery by Peter McLelland in 1988. That's a huge amount of effort and a cunning degree of forethought given that the diary still had four or five years to emerge into the light of day.
Definitely no shoddy hoax.
Cheers,
Tom
