> Good Afternoon Guy,
  I had fully intended to just come to this address today and delete anything that came from Wikipedia, due to the way I was treated last night.  Are those people administration, or are they just faking it?  If they are supposed to be behaving professionally , they sure did not do so last night.  Ask Phil and Mark what happened.  I saved their emails if your are interested in the disgusting way they are representing your enterprise.  I am only here for my love and devotion for the english language and writing.  I want to be able to help people who need advice.  I did not come online last night to get in a word-fight with a couple of ignorant, mean men who had absolutely no idea of who and what they were dealing with.
