Re: [nc-udrp] RE: UDRP Materials -URGENT PLEASE REPLY UPON RECEIPT

["J. Scott Evans" <jse@adamspat.com>]

Michael:

My hope is to receive an objective summary of the paper.  I appreciate your
willingness to assist; however, I would prefer that you help out with
another paper or, in the alternative, help with the remaining survey
results.  There will be plenty of time during our dialogue for you to
advocate the position(s) set forth in your paper.

Thanks for your continued participation and I hope you feel better soon.

J. Scott
