Quite right you are..

I too recall the worldwide boycott eons ago - when this Swiss-based Multinational Slime Org was inducing 3rd world impoverished to use their infant formula - the first few weeks? days? supply was as free as a dope peddler's sample. N. employed white-smocked shills to recommend their Warez, just like the US white-coated pharm-chem shills all along. After the breasts had stopped producing milk: half the 'income' was needed to keep up the habit. So.. they diluted it. So the babies died or would have been better off if - Agreed - they were there before Billy stole his first stuff, told his first 1000 lies - and Nestle remains Bigger and more diverse in nastiness.. My bad.

Have't established the direct link, but it looks like (I got this from his father!) that either his grandfather or great uncle was my great great grandfather. Give or take a generation or two. I know he's related, just not quite sure of the exact lineage... [link\|mailto:jbrabeck@attbi.com\|Joe]

Like, maybe it counts for something -- a little bit more than the nothing most of those protest letters probably weigh in his estimation -- if it comes from a second cousin, or whatever it is you are? If I were you, I'd consider saying something to the effect of "Hi! I'm your long-lost cousin, I just found out we're related..." followed, a bit further down, by something about how "... and that makes me SAD, because you're disgracing our good name with this inconscionable corporate greed."
