Hello, all.  I tried opening up the PDF document that Pa Morro
submitted.  I'm having some difficulty as well, it's Adobe which is
not the most accessible of applications sometimes.  I'm not sure if
it's the computer I'm currently using, or the application itself.  If
it's not too much trouble, would it be difficult for anyone to convert
the document into an MS Word or ASCII text document and forward it to
me?  I may not be able to speak on doctored fonts, headings, etc., but
maybe I could take a look and see if the two documents seem similar or
not.


     This reminds me of all of the artists that sue for other artists
stealing their songs, etc.  I'd guess that the "verdict" as it were,
would be in the eye of the beholder.


     However, I also think that the people making these charges should
also present their evidence and not leave it to the rest of us to do
the dirty work.  Unless of course, they only want to make allegations
for the skae of making allegations.


     Or better yet, why not present, or present again, if already done
so, *your party's* ideas for "regime change", etc.


     Anyway, I'll try to handle the document issue later.


Ginny
