Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] FW: The Last Blast (2)
My comment is simple: this is absolutely unbelievable horse kaka of a coup and war within the most fun organization... I'm ashamed on behalf of the guilty and the innocent.
We had so much fun in Las Vegas and never realized how deep the problem was, although aware there was some, never imagined it would go that far.
Guilty ones: Same on you...
Innocent ones: So sorry you had to deal with is.
Note: I really don't know who the guilty or innocent are!....
