As some doubts were cast on the authenticity of the email I received from Mr. Falk. whose contents I posted on my blog, I asked jonottawa, as a disinterested third party, to take a look at it and give his opinion. I hope my good faith effort will allay some of the doubts about its authenticity, although, of course, neither of us can be 100 percent certain that it is genuine. As I do not want to compromise Mr. Falk's privacy (although I am under no obligation to protect it) I hope this effort on my part will suffice.
