A very revealing non-denial, but that is how all good spammers do it; right? Claim it, perhaps even off the record, then when it is written, just say you did not write it. A literally truthful denial and the best of plausible deniability. I suspect that is why the IHub spell checker does not recognize "deniability." Perhaps Bob should be issuing some subpoenas for the ever present reporter's tapes -- before they show up with a few minutes of silence.
