That's a huge accusation Bruce. You are entitled to have that opinion. Putting your (this) opinion in public (without proof) is a personal attack on a x number of people of the founder group. CCC was created to escape from personal attacks and now you (NB being a moderator) without any reason start a personal attack on a x number of people. Wish you take it back. - Ed - >bruce
