Dear F
Other than the not so subtle stealing of my good name ;-)
along with the easily seen-through attempt to disguise the
stealing by changing one simple letter. I'm wondering if all
your comments (many of which I've thought over the years have
applied to any number of groups I've been associated with) apply
to all the groups you've copied and at this moment in time? 8O)
I understand that there were a number of Hamma(e)tt brothers that
came from England around 1640. Upon landing, all but one brother
decided the family name was HammEtt, while one stubborn,
do-it-his-own-way brother thought it should be HammAtt. Ah, so much
for family legends.
