Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 Dear Live and Learn with Elliott Stern: Once again thanks for posting the e-mail from ASBS. Just wanted to comment: paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 are a reasoned, unbiased response. But, I have to take exception to paragraph 4. I think it shows a true bias on the part of the author, and if I was a member I'd be disappointed in this response. Of course, I don't remember seeing your e-mail inquiry, so maybe the response was just phrased to respond to it and I'm being a 'witch-hunter.' Anyhow, thanks for posting it for us.
