I was pointing out the logical inconsistency of Charles III's parliament
setting the rules for his replacement,if in fact he was a usurper.
(Shades of the precedence of the Lords Le Despencer).

Edwards of course were the ones who continued to be named
after the Conquest but had the previous ones ignored for
numbering purposes (though Edward the Martyr got to be a
patron saint for being murdered for his stepmother's convenience,
an easier but more painful path than the Confessor took).

On a personal level...this address le@lekno.ws
replaced the le@put.com address I had had since
1995 when I sold the put.com domain in 2023.

Have you ever done anything about getting a pardon in Virginia?
You say you hope to get the bogus convictions reversed,but the
officialdom wants some sort of application,which I guess you
decline to file because it implies guilt?

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
