There was a recent huge controversy in r.g.c.c. that involved circumstances surrounding Mark getting in trouble at ICC, and he called various people liars and made some other sharp comments. If something like this happens once, maybe he was treated badly and has a point, but if it happens twice, you have to wonder about the person who is making the claims, since trouble tends to follow some people around. I think it is pretty serious to try to wreck someone's business because of an incident like this. bruce
