Brian misquoted me. What I told him (in confidence, unfortunately) was that his website had generated 27 links from his website to ours. And you are right, I did moderate several posts. I will not have a bunch of inappropriate, rude, mean-spirited or otherwise hurtful comments on this site.
Didn’t realize that our phone conversations were top secret. Won’t happen again.
