This is not right. The results of LWE took money out of David Sugar's

In addition, this IS an advocacy session.
The line has to be drawn and drawn hard. Action needs to be taken, not only
agains the abuse in this session, but also for the next and the next.

putting the livelyhood of FS deveopers in jeopardy.
Brad... how many children do you have to feed? David and I together make
over 10.
