How very kind of you to consider two possibilities, thank  you.

Calling someone a liar is simply not my style, nor did I use any words that were remotely close to doing so.  If I could see anything in my words that could possibly be construed that way I would apologize for it.  (And, by the way, I consider *any* false positives unacceptable if there's no suitable mechanism for detecting and correcting them.)

This discussion is going nowhere, so I'm going back to more serious work on comprehensive spam control.  -- Nathaniel
