Re: [ga] This Forum virus hits form one subscriber - Causes...


Don and all former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

  Oh?  Well pray tell than why respond to any of my comments or
remarks at all, Don?  Why would Leah? Why would Eric?

  Now you incorrectness on several of your and Leah's comments
or remarks may be a product of any number of several motivations.
However give your, Leah's and John's tone of those remarks seem
to be of some ill will in nature.  That is unfortunate and certainly
not positive...  Yet my raising awareness and accurately as is
well documented, which you either missed or not willing to
research for yourself and as a reminder, is of your own doing,
not mine...

"Be precise in the use of words and expect precision from others" -

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
