I was forwarded a copy of this e-mail and I thought the forum might like to read it. The only two parts that really need to be read are the Cc list and the part where Doug Lord Makes A personal Attack on Dick lemke. This shows Doug Lords true colors; he makes a ?snide? comment about Dick, and then has the audacity to make sure Dick gets a copy of the e-mail, on his home account.
