Since there are probably multiple Sams on this list of 905 (don't
leave us and make us 904, Lyle), I'm sure the Sam(s) who are not
involved would like a chance to clear their name(s) before this goes
any further. It seems pretty out of character for the Sam(s) I know.
It would have been a better approach if a name hadn't been mentioned
just yet, IMHO.
