[Husker] Time's Up, Bill (fwd)

[Steve Reichenbach]

I looked hard for any substance to your post.  What I see is
you saying that some unnamed friends and family who have dealt
with Perlman in some unspecified way have said things second-hand
that are in some way "genereally not favorable".  Then, you
write that the contact extension "just does not seem right" in
some unspecified way.  I'd like to respond to your post in a
substanstive way, but in that there seems to be no substance
to it --- just vague innuendo --- I think that is impossible.
So, I'll just leave my reply as a critique of your post as
completely lacking in any substance and respectability.
