Good morning folks. I thought I would just say that I am personally acquainted with many Eug-Lug members, having been part of the founders of the original group, and although we may differ, sometimes radically, in our political views, each and every person has earned my respect and admiration.

Sincerely, Jim Darrough

Comcast is getting schooled by the FCC over that very topic

Your recitations of the alleged 'radical politics' of this list and of
EFN are rather hard not to take as a personal attack. Particularly
when made to someone who is just meeting me for the first time.

It is irritating and I wish you would stop it.
