I've just read the incoming mail on this subject and am astounded by the responses.Doesn't anybody out there read the mail,and inwardly digest its content before replying with ill considered invective ? Please....correct me if I am incorrect....I do not have the original messages saved and so cannot be certain....but I do not recall anyone stating catergorically that this man was fired [ until the message was quoted in part in a reply ],only that it was their believe.Could someone confirm that he was fired,and if so the reason ? before we start another war.
