This is exactly why your rebuttal was rejected. It was full of
personal attacks. Reid Brandon is an Engineer at Eimac, and
Buzz Mikolous (sp?) was an RD engineer who also disagreed with
you.
Implying the engineers at Eimac who disagree with you "clean
toilets" doesn't win you any points.

Please make a signed copy of that letter available Rich. I have no
recollection of it. I want to read it.
