[Vision2020] Childish beliefs

[david sarff]

Hi Roger.
Tim Bell comes up a lot. He is  presently being called out as a liar about 
his credentials and experience. He has sued for liable and there is an 
active case involved. I have been keeping track of and will write something 
about it after the results are in.
