It's Funkenbusch, the propagandist on behalf of Microsoft, 
who's lying here.  DejaNews won't search on the word "but"
-- it's a common word they don't index on (a "stopword").

A search on "true" reveals no such backpedalling.

However (staying in the same metaphor), every time I've seen 
Funkenbusch try to lay a glove on Ballard, he pulls back a 
bloody stump.
