First off, I am only vaguely familiar with said interview, so I cannot comment on its particulars. I have been reading Karl's comments on SI for some time, and I have yet to come upon a post of his that contradicts what I myself know about the nature of the Y2K problem and its potential impact on the manufacturing sector. Moreover, in my view, he has always conducted himself in a civil and rational manner, in every instance. I have never once witnessed him trying to take advantage of nor trying to manipulate fellow SIers. In other words, although I have never met the man nor spoken with him directly, I have no reason to question Karl's integrity. Accordingly, if he published what he represented to be an interview with Jenkins (whom I also have never met nor spoken to), I have no reason whatsoever to disbelieve him. You know, I have always wondered how Old Bill was going to try to trip up Karl. I have found it amusing to watch him try to engage Karl or discredit him, etc., because he can't. Granted, he can probably raise suspicion in the minds of those who accept BW as a rational and honest contributor to SI, and my guess is he has succeeded in this regard to at least some degree. However, I prefer to view Karl as analogous to Old Bill's tar baby. Every punch BW aims at Karl only serves to further "embed" Wexler in this mess that he apparently has conjured up for himself. Don't look for any sympathy from this quarter.
