RE: [DMCForum] ATTENTION: New DMCForum policies (Jon)



Jon,

The group was never intended to have religious and political discussions.
In your opinion, what does the group stand for?  I am seriously interested
to hear what you have to say.

Wow.

Talk about a step in the wrong direction.  This is unnecessary and
contrary to what I thought this group stood for.  How ironic.  I'm with
Rick Gendreau all the way on this one.
