[blparent] Full and Open Disclosure

[Brandy W]

Gabe, I am most likely going to be leaving this list because you have made
it the most unpleasant place to read mail on. Did you not ever hear that if
you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all? I wish you
didn't always need the last word, and could act like the adult you clame to
be. I'm really tired of the way you turn our happy list into a war zone a
minimum of once a week.

Interesting, since I was at the zoo all day with my kids.  Now we're going
to the pool, so I'll deal with this later.  I hope you sent Steve all of
your vicious, vindictive e-mails, too.
