Subject: Re: Reality Sucks for the "old timers"
Let me add one serious "correction" to my comments here: I am NOT the
only one who "puts on the helmet" everyday, Jablosnki is the other one.
He started his own agency to do the battle and believe me when I tell
you that the worst of the worst strokes out there are doing eveything
they can do attempt to roadblock him, and it will not work because he is
right for the right reasons and they are "dead" wrong and have the body
count to prove it.

Also in the game are all of those who spend so much time trying to get
out real information in the face of constant harassment and confusion
out of the strokes. You guys are doing a great job, and one measure of
how good a job we are doing is by how much of a negative backlash we get
from the bottom feeders.
