[ga-abuse] Re: WLS Discussion on the GA list

[Harold Whiting <Harold@PeterWhiting.com>]

Alexander,

Check your facts.
I responded to direct comments made by Chuck Gomes, I did not make any
"personal attacks".
VGRS did indeed post the documents on a "password only" location long
before publicly distributing them.  Ross pointed this out and was flamed by
Chuck over it with the message I have included below for your perusal.  I,
too, hope that this discussion will stay on course and stick to the real
issues, hence my response - which was indeed made immediately upon my
reciept of Chuck's message below.  Perhaps due to the list's delivery delay
it may have seemed out of time, but I assure you it was not.

Sincerely,
   Harold Whiting
