What Mis-Information? This what we were told at the E911 meeting a while
back. I'll photocopy the pamphlets we got and mail them to you! I'm not
saying your incorrect Im only saying I don't lie and post what information I
have, although if I am going to be accused of lying, it would be more
appopriate to do it "off list". That is the respectable thing to do.
