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

 I am my parents legal guardian as they are elderly, 86 and 81 yrs of
age.
I learned from them a very long time ago, that public discourse should
be discussed in public in an open and transparent manner.  Hence
that part of your remarks seems to be a little bit off the mark.

  I also did not in any way suggest that you did or did not discount
Milton.  I suggested that you SHOULD not do so in my original
response to you in that regard on this thread.  However your
comments regarding Milton was seemingly in the negative.
Hence I only agreed in part as to the direction that negativity
was seemingly intended, yet was given in a manner that was
IMHO underhanded and should be aired in public as the thread
was originally posted anyway...
