I surely do not and have not meant any of my comments as attacks. Admittedly, hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to words I've spoken. (There are a lot of postings I've made that I wish i had done in different veins since from the commentaries returned, I've been misunderstood and my comments have not helped that idea.) I also don't believe he should be attacked, though I don't believe this was meant that way. Mayhaps, AJ suffered from the same as many of us do. When you are used to doing somethign one way (the lack of transparency) and then attempt to do something a different way (attempting to provide that transparency), we go overboard in the attempt to do right. Just a thought. --- David D.W.
