Hi Paul
 You obviously seem very annoyed but I don't understand why. I'm sure most people in the Newton
community will stand behind you and help correct any injustices that have been done. Could you
please explain exactly what or who has caused you to take this action? I for one would boycott
anyone who has offended our Newton King and urge you to reconsider continuing your very important
and ground breaking work.
