[ga] Re: Open Letter to Mr Jeff Neuman from The Internet Challenge - Another "Load"?

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

Jeff and all,

  Sorry Jeff, but your response back to Richard sounds and awful
lot like a "Load", if you know what I mean here.  I doubt that anyone of
minimal intelligence bout it either!  Next time try answering the questions
that Richard or anyone else poses to you directly, accurately, completely,
and most of all Honestly...  Things work out allot better that way!  >:)
