“I have seen nothing to suggest it and I would be careful not to base any decision whatever on it.” Both Rossi and Defkalion are doing their best to keep all the decision making in their own hands and out of the hands of their propagandist detractors. On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 3:33 PM, Mary Yugo

I refer to your posts on the Defkalion site. You repeated a million times (maybe a few less) that they should show you anything at all. That was your desire for many posts and now they have done what you requested. Now, you need to let the world know that they did what you begged them to do
