There is no *if* to my feelings on the matter and no one from the Census Project has ever made any attempt to discuss the issue or any resolution of the same with me. Instead the subject has been bandied about including misleading and even blatant untruths primarily on lists to which I do not even have access to defend myself. >Now we appear to have a double standard.
