To the Newsgroup:

In which of the earlier posts did we establish that Hubert de Burgh was
a kinsman of Alice Pouchard?

Richardson should point out specifically which post did establish the
relationship (some relationship of any kind). He seems now to be
trying to do by the side door what he found that he could not do by the
front door with his post of O2 January - that is to reinterpret the
many posts on this subject to say what we refused to let him say with a
so-salled "ancient" document.

Why is Richardson so determined to create a relationship between Hubert
de Burgh and the Pouchard family? He should at least let us know his
motive.
