Reason 1. There were two reasons listed in the FAQ. The first made Bill Jolitz sound petty. In an attempt to avoid besmirching his character, I included the rest of the description from the original FAQ. Reason 2. The only reason with technical merit was proven to be false. In short. The only reason left makes Bill look bad. I refuse to make Bill look bad. Period. I like his work too much to have something like this in a document that I am supposed to be writing. Whatever the politics, whatever the personal reasons, I feel that this is too divisive a subject to continue with. -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
