Raffaele’s faq is unofficial, and invalid… raffaele does not speak for this group, nor is his faq worth the 1s and 0s it takes to comprise it… There is no faq for ASL… any and all attempts to imply otherwise, are blatant lies, and are nothing more than attempts at manipulation… Raffaele does not represent ASL, as he tries so hard to give that impression, in his latest bid for stolen credibility, and "kingdom"… raff only represents raff, and he certainly does not represent this group, nor does he represent me… And all his manipulations, and deceitful tactics, will never change that… Just as my own words represent only my own opinions, one person cannot speak for others, or for any group of people, without their approval, and agreement…                                 Michael In article <37a080cd.204…@news.telware.it>, k…@telware.it wrote:
