<x-flowed>Hi Clifford & David,

(I sent this to the old list address but presumably you've made the swap 
now, so this is a re-send to the new address.)

Quoting from a past message on this list: - David Ferri to Steve Farmer 
early June 2007:

>- What most people are unaware of is that Clifford, Fred and I *purchased* 
>the Omnis Underground, with our own money, in a deal suggested by Jerry and 
>Chris and brokered by David Lewis.  So to imply that there was some sort of 
>hostile takeover or hijacking is simply not the case.

The "Fred" refered to above is Fred Haislmeier.  I feel its important to have a clean break from anyone who has any claim to having "purchased" the list.

This is a very tiresome process!  I feel like Erin Brockovich! (only different looking).

At least we are probably near to the point where the stage management ends and the new group will be able to speak for themselves.

I prefer the strong leadership at OmnisDevelopers.com who spoke for themselves from the start.

Till the next round!
Reg.
