This is pure poppycock.  The only thing that hasn't changed since CCC was
started is that one particular individual wants to continually jump in with
comments designed to inflame, rather than inform.  If you don't like it here,
go back to the forum you started.  If you do like it here, participate.  You
have a lot to offer, if only you would offer it.



 This ownership has never been passed to ICD.
