Vittorio, again, let me type this very slowly for you, An At Large
Organization should be made up of I N D I V I D U A L S, not O R G A N I Z A
T I O N S. See the difference in the two words? One starts with an I, the
other with an O, and they are even spelled differently all the way through.
Go to http://www.dictionary.com for further information on either
word.</sarcasm>
