It's no God damned wonder that Misplaced Pages is disregarded as an authoritative source on anything.
I have requested this page be deleted in the past, and so help me, if I can find one Misplaced Pages editor who will place their real name and address in the public domain so that they may take proper legal credit for the false and defamatory information that continues to be posted here, I will personally drive to your damned doorstep and see to it that you are served personally.
