========= I sympathize with your anger. I only forwarded the post in the hopes someone who might know her indirectly could verify the story asap. The Greens should have been much more careful in the wording of their broadcast but anger makes people disoriented. I would've called her myself but was headin' out the door to pick Lisa up at the airport. She travels *alot* via air and S11 has made her life miserable--mine too............
