Re: ALERT:LFG

It was not my intention to panic any one...just that people with accounts should be in the know and make what ever decisions they think they should.  I'm just wondering if LFG bothered to inform clients of this occurance?

If this post caused any kind of upset or panic...again this was not my intention... I can only applogize deeply...for me, too many times, incidences occure which might or might not effect us in some way, but we are not informed and given the opportunity to make informed choices...basically we
are treated like mushrooms....kepted in the dark and feed BS or nothing.
