I am not trying to suggest for a moment that Keith and Shirley were not unaware of the contents of Barrett's Disney Productions affidavit of January 5, 1995 until 1997. They clearly were unaware of the contents. No, no, no, no, no, you once again miss the point. It is very obvious that they did not see the actual affidavit until 1997 (because they clearly hadn't realised to what level of artificial intelligence Barrett had stooped to in describing his fantastic creative skills) but we are discussing whether or not some intergalactic secret was being preserved by the unlucky few who had been inflicted with the contents of the affidavit of January 5, 1995. You keep implying that it was the biggest secret of all time (until a new secret emerged last Saturday explaining why Fabian Schar didn't pass the ball sideways to Alexander Isak who was standing in front of Fulham's empty goal for 2-2). You keep implying that no-one was to know about this 'non-circulating' 'confession'. Well, Mike freely mentioned it in the morning of January 18 to Shirley and Keith (inter alia) and then his ex-wife did the same thing in the afternoon (once they'd finished the critical business of which was the appropriate cake to serve with tea). This doesn't sound to me like any kind of a secret. Shirley and Keith were twice drawn to Mike having made a fresh affidavit of forgery and everyone else in the room could hear it.
No, no, no, no, no. There's no secret, and that (I'm fairly sure) is what we were debating. Shirley and Keith knew about the January 5, 1995, affidavit within two weeks of Melvin - sorry, Mike - making it: they just didn't show any interest in seeing it, presumably because they weren't made aware that there were new claims being made in it. Two years later, they realised.
