Re: The LCS Factor

Re: The LCS Factor

Re: The LCS Factor

Don, I appreciate the words of apology you have written, but do you really get it. I mean, really get it. You wrote in a post to Overflow, “I do regret needing to speak so plainly and bluntly.” The...

What the bazooka! I am mad at the denial and lies. At the same time I don't even think this is worthy of response it is so absurd. I'd like to get my mom and dad on here as witness, but I won't...
