Re: [ga] Judge Permanently Stops Operation of Phony Domain Name Registrar

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg et., al., 

  I do apologize for not spell checking my response before
sending, which I usually do.  None the less deciphering

higher than a 5th grade education.  So sorry your education
level didn't allow for you to do so successfully as well. >;)

  I am sure that there are some remedial education opportunities
in your area that you can take advantage of.
