GDG- Devil's Den Sharpshooter

[Dennis Lawrence]

Hello,

  It caused quite a bit of controversy at one time. For one it challenges 
one of  the sacred interpretations by Frassanito, and it takes indisputable 
proof to reverse that call on the field.

Another issue was that the Internet was not as well known to some, and they 
considered that article an example of how the Internet was a negative  in 
discussion of history. So the conversation digressed...


Take Care
