help
>just one less person go to him for tapes I feel I have done my part. On a

>from the u2 newsgroups and possibly kicked off aol for threatening people and
>slander. so please do NOT go to him for tapes...
To add to this, the reason that Chuck/Redvett is not seen here posting is
that he got kicked off WIRE for posting about his JT programs 11 times in
one day, and then verbally abusing anyone who objected. Many of us here
were victims of his abuse. (the '3 posts per day' rule was enacted very
soon afterward) I wouldn't send this guy one penney - stick to Chris, he's
the real deal!
