Re: [ga-roots] Alternate Roots Issues Paper for Discussion

Youn mean I have to retract now? The part that said it was misinformation is
what I agreed with. I thought Walsh said that, but now it seems I was
mistaken and again can't find one single place I can agree with anything WXW
says. I am saddened to no end that he would slander a company in this
fashion and I have to once again disagree. Say the sky is blus or something
WXW so that we might at least agree on something.
