It appears that another segment (the fourth) of Gary Troup discussing Bad Twin on Laird Granger's program Book Talk has surfaced.

(By the way, does anyone know why this program does not appear ever to have aired? The publisher seems to be making use of them as promotional items, but we've been unable to track down the original program in its entirety.)

Only this time, it's entirely about Troup's bizarre conspiracy theory (how many times will we have to use that phrase?) that Alvar Hanso himself bought up not only all existing copies of The Valenzetti Equation but also the publication rights to the book itself.

Troup pushes even deeper into the entirely unconfirmable by asserting that Alvar Hanso possesses the only actual copy of the alleged equation.

Nothing in this interview moves us from our earlier-argued position that the real reason The Valenzetti Equation "disappeared" is because it was fiction, and the publisher recalled the book to avoid any embarassment.

Update: Here's a poser for critics of The Hanso Foundation: What do you make of the fact that even your "martyr" in this very video clip refers to Alvar Hanso in a way that directly contradicts the more insane assertions from your side that Alvar Hanso perhaps doesn't even exist?

Update: It also occurs to us now that if the publishers of Bad Twin continue to make use of these clips to promote their book, then it does not appear that Hyperion is accepting The Hanso Foundation's demands that it cease publication.
