So know instead of keeping it on the group we are going to try and get
people fired or at the very least in trouble at their place of
employment? So i guess calling people at home is alright and harresment
is fine as well. I think your message and the fact that you relish
making trouble makes you worse than Gilliam. This private information
dispensed so readily by you to the whole web, to people who may have
serious problems is frightening. But hey you just trying to do what TDI
would like censor and shut up people who don't agree with you. O, by the
way i own the company here so there is no boss to squeal to, no one to
call to try and get my hand slapped, sorry to disapoint you. Bill Allen
