  So?  What does that have to do with the E-Mail (See below) to Stef is
referring?

  Do you have a copy of that report?  IF you do than share it with everyone
so as they can judge for themselves.  IF not this is just another attempt
to side step the issue of the "Behind the scenes maneuvering".

  I am sure you do feel that the posting to which Stef provided (See below)
was embarrassing anyway as you were one of the people involved as it was
sent "TO" you along with Don Heath who originated the posting and
Barbara Dooley, whom was referenced in the body or the message.

  We find your actions in this matter unethical.  Besides that point did
Stef sign an NDA?  If not he has NOT violated any ethical practice
or law that I am aware of.

  You sir, along with Barbara Dooley, and Don Heath should be ashamed
of yourselves and owe the whole Internet Community and Jim Dixon
an apology.
