To "trevor(a)ny.com" -
I would like to know why you have forwarded a quote from Brian Leverich,
dated 9 Dec 1996 in regard to the history of the USGenWeb project. In what
context is this quote being discussed? Where was it found? And why is it
being shared with the list of e-mail addresses in your message below?
As this concerns me, I would like to understand the background for this
e-mail thread.
Thank you in advance, for taking the time to reply,
Cyndi
I have never heard the name Richard. I have a feeling this is an
alter-ego trying to stir up trouble.
