I'm not going to find that without a bit more help.

Oh, it's on her own twitter feed. Not my first choice, but I'd certainly sooner have him on my side than the oppo's. Hope it's pro bono.

I'm glad Sabrina hasn't directly mentioned anyone. She's a smart girl.

Clearly you aren't as smart as she, as you have mentioned the name of a very well known English GM further up in this thread, without evidence or provocation. What is extraordinary is that the owner of this board hasn't deleted that post when he deleted a shed load of other nonsense from you.

I don't imagine Mark is worth suing.

I'm sure Nick and Matt know this already but, for anyone who doesn't, the fact that someone isn't named in a statement doesn't mean that he or she can't succeed in a case for defamation. The extra test, I believe, is whether others might reasonably believe it's a reference to him or her.

I fear his numeracy skills may not be as good as he probably thinks they are.

It would appear that MH has confused ASCII 44 and 46.

Easy to do.

20 views would be about right which is 20 too many IMHO.
