GREGG DesELMS's REPLY:

Oh, yeah... THAT's the problem. <sarcasm>That's, for SURE, how everyone 
reading this exchange between us will interpret it.</sarcasm>
[sigh] Oy.

And, by the way, it's "Gregg:"  Three G's, not in a row.  Or may I call 
you "Geoff."
And it's "et al," not "et., al.,"

And it's "nonetheless," not "none the less."

Hmm.  That class of persons you just mentioned... you know... the ones 
with at least a 5th grade education... you're ... like... actually IN that 
class... right?
So, then... now that you've so succinctly shown that the best retort 
you've got is an immature insult rather than an adult-like addressing of 
the actual issues, how 'bout you answer the question you think you've so 
deftly dodged, to wit:
   Precisely when has eNom ever done anything
   even remotely resembling what the egregious
   Canadian company did, as described in the
   articles to which you referred/linked us?

   Hmm?  When?

Is there at least a CHANCE that, you're having so casually (and 
irresponsibly) tossed-out that eNom is an offender on par with the 
aforementioned Canadian company, you'll actually back it up with... oh... 
I dunno... EVIDENCE?  Is that too much to ask?
I'll not hold my breath, of course... but is there at least a SMALL 
chance?  Or are you just going to continue to be reckless in what you 
write here?
