236. "and never gave them credit"? Says who?
Have you read the page of acknowledgments in the BBV book where Bev says,

"Wow. This book was a long, hard, scary piece of work. I could not have created a body of work like this without help, and it is not possible to list you all in the space provided. Thanks to Lynn Landes, and Linda Franz, and Rebecca Mercuri. To Richard Harris, who offered valuable councel in so many ways. And to the Colliers, all of 'em, and Ronnie Dugger, and Peter Neumann, and Doug Jones, the pioneering voices of concern. To David Allen, who said of the private corporations that were throwing their weight around, "I've always wanted to be on an 'Enemies List'. And to Lex Alexander, a voice of encouragement when David Allen and I were shouting at one another. "It's understandable that you're feeling a little tense," said Lex. "We're just expecting you to save American democracy." To Roxanne Jekot, who spent hundreds of hours discussing documents and findings, and was a dear friend. And to DemocraticUnderground.com, perhaps my greatest source of inspiration and courage during the investigation and research phase. To Daniel Hopsticker, and Dan Spillane and Jim Condit, and Brent Beleskey, and Mark Crispin Miller. To David Dill and Kim Alexander, and Greg Dinger and Denis Wright, and ParanoidPat, who never fails to make me laugh. To Alastair Thompson, and Skinner, and Jeff Matson and gristy and punpirate. To Al Marzian and coalminer's daughter, bpilgrim, and Faun Otter and Marian Beddill, and that quiet force in the background, Jack Maples. To pioneering Susan Marie Weber, and two of the gutsiest guys I know, Charley Matulka and Rob Behler. To Dan Wallach, Avi Rubin, Yoshi Kohno and Adam Stubblefield, for having the courage to go public and apply solid credentials to the problem. To Angka, SoCalDem, abcdan, Cap, HarmonyGuy, Papau, Phoebe, Trogl and Zhade; Eloriel, and HeddaFoil. Thanks to Greg Palast, who offered his expert advice when I found the Diebold FTP files, and to William Rivers Pitt, who shared ideas and his own research, and Thom Hartmann who knows the perils of privatization better than anyone. To the honorable Dennis Kucinich, Jim McDermott, Rush Holt, John Conyers and Barbara Boxer. To Robin, who stepped in with a shoulder to lean, and Big John Gideon, the force on the forum. To the irrepressible Jim March, with his cleverness and great personal courage. To Andy Stephenson, a kick-ass researcher and a steadfast friend. I promised myself I'd quit when the page ran out.

As you can plainly see it's always been "all about Bev" and she NEVER GAVE THEM CREDIT! :eyes:

Now who should I believe, Bev or Malva? :shrug: :evilgrin:
