It is a matter of public record that I did nothing of the sort. So who
accused you?

I wrote "Dave designed (with input from comp.home.automation discussions)
built, marketed, and recommended the BX24-AHT []".

You responded "There was _no_ design input from anybody in CHA (and this
lying SOB cannot reference a single message to support his lies)."

I then  quoted what you wrote in comp.home.automation, namely:

:Dave announced the BX24-AHT  a month _after_ he wrote this in
:comp.home.automation

and I remarked "Sounds a lot like a BX24-AHT-thingy  to me ..." and cited
other discussion about the code cited above and general discussion of the
need for an All Housecode Tranceiver in comp.home.automation.

You obviously saw the cited code as potentially useful "input" because you
yourself stated that you would see if you could adapt it.

I made no statement whatever about whether any specific details of this
demonstrated "input" made it into the final design, only that there was
"input from comp.home.automation discussions" --  which there demonstrably
were --  and that adapting the cited BS2SX code to a BX24 with a CM11A
"sound[ed] a lot like a BX24-AHT-thingy to me" -- which it does.

I make no claims. I posted publicly available information. with references.
