The GOP is harassing me yet again so I had a quick look at our Feb 4 and Feb 6 drafts. This is kinda funny, but inour Feb 4 draft we mention "conspiracy theories" (probably referring to the HIV insertion preprint, but there were alot of other crazy shit out there at the time), however, in our Feb 6 draft we _specifically_ removed that word.So, yet again, we actually did the opposite of what the Leakers are accusing us of. I'll let them know that Tony and Francis suggested we take it out :wink:. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2022-01-24 at 13.21.04.png, Screen Shot2022-01-24 at 13.21.16.png]

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

And now we know who the anti-conspiracy theorist is :bald_man:. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2022-01-24 at 13.28.33.png]

A lot of good decisions were made during the writing of PO1 - it will indeed hold up very well.

I'm still amazed at how on-point we were so quickly. We must have worked hard at the time...
