I liked the notice of the trip, I can't go.. I delete the extra's, I also would like future notices of other trips.. BUT I think publishing a letter sent in private... no matter how petty, is pretty petty... just makes people that may have missed a chill pill one day targets..... Oh and for the record.... I think the quibbling is entertaining.... But I like research and answers to my questions more. Again... who cares...
