- nknight 15y agoDo you have any meaningful citation for these events? The only mention I can find of the incident you seem to be alluding to is a brief, vague, and un-sourced mention in a text file dating to 1991[1]. I'd be entirely unsurprised to learn that there is far more nuance to the story than what you and said file state, or that the incident was largely the result of a game of telephone.
