You never see anything that isn't completely pro-Livingston, they do no
wrong ever in your eyes. The July 15 was a typo, and there wasn't a
message, he was referring to a conversation that was had with LE.

I never read into the letter, anything about sending out to beta sites. If
that is the case, then I don't read between the lines as well as you do.

Hell, maybe that was why I started the thread to start with, I love em
just as much as you do. Hell, I love my brother too, but if he was kinda,
sorta ready to do something, but wasn't, I would be on him like stink on
shit. You ever notice how there is a numbing silence on this list, when
something is expected from Livingston, but doesn't happen.

As I stated above, maybe if you look at it from the ground instead of
from your penthouse in Paradise, it is meant as constructive criticism.

Exactly my point too, the same story time and time again.
