I would think that, though the people so convocated may
still retain the same
reticience to call someone making such a "they support me" claim in public
out and disclaim them openly, it would be quite likely and credible that in
private, if that were an inaccurate claim, they would freely make their views
known to Durova.
Possibility 1: Durova is not talking about the people on the mailing
list, but about her "trainee sleuths".
Possibility 2: Durova is talking about the people on the mailing
list, but misinterpreted the replies (as indeed she misinterpreted
the account in question)
Possibility 3: There is a vast conspiracy and five long-standing
members of the project are lying about it.
Of these, I think possibility 3 is the least likely. There may be
other possibilities I have not considered, of course.
