Majdi, please lets get something straight. I am a one person
organization. I officially publish a 25 to 30 thousand word
newsletter every month. I have done so since april 1992. I am my
own boss and never denied that I am a bit of a curmudgeon who is not
overly respectful of the powers that be.
so complaining won't change a thing
