Thank you, Stephen, you are absolutely right. I have also been advised that the absolute best thing to do would be to no longer respond to the "trolls," whomever they may really be. As soon as I return from Mediawest, I will be talking to the proper authorities and I'm certain that everything will eventually be straightened out.

Big thank yous to all who expressed concern over the attacks against us and offered sympathy. It is good to know that the majority of the list members do not condone what happened.
