No, it is not grossly unfair. I did not cite numbers any more than I did
not. It was left up to the individual who read it to decide for themselves
what those numbers were. I can, however, prove that one person has been told
that they would not be accepted if they applied. That person is me.
So my statement is accurate and not a "gross" misrepresentation because,
as stated, no numbers were given... Malformed hand or not. :P
