Now, Larry has raised a good question. Do you have a business relationship with
Moss, and if so, was it fair not to let us know that up front?
To Larry
Oooooooo! You have raised a VERY interesting question! In the past week for

few posts praising Moss. I speculated that there may be a PR offensive to
counter some of the bad press they have been getting lately.
