|
| Matthew, (my first article here) This is the same crappy generic reply TLG sent me back into the 1980's. That's why I went over their heads and sent a letter to Peter Eio (then) president of TLG USA. He had the Consumers Affairs manager reply to me (...) (26 years ago, 8-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

How do I go about doing that? Also, I have some additional info to add to (...) (26 years ago, 12-Nov-98, to lugnet.admin.database)
