Judie & List Mates:

I humbly apologize for the miss attribution of the persona comment. That one
was sent to me off list by another detractor of Allen's and I flat just blew
it in attributing it to Judie. I am sorry about it.

Please be assured however, that I did get your point, Judie, from the very
beginning. How could one not get your point after reading your original
post? You were quite clear in categorizing him as a rip off artist and the
worst player you ever heard in public.

Amazing how it escalated eh? Or did it?

Jazz hugs back at ya,
Steve Barbone
