Re: [ga] The "mushroom treatment"....

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric and all assembly members,

  Perhaps taking your own advice of not attacking the messenger
but rather the message is in order.  From the book of judges,
I don't remember the exact chapter # or verse # off hand:
"Judge not yet ye be judged sayith the lord"...

  Although your listed attributes are interesting, I am sure I don't believe it
in it's entirety.  "Green Paper indeed"!  You need to do much more
studying Eric.  Theologists are a dime a dozen.  Not all that impressive.
I did not see you listed in the ASA either.
