Dear Brian, Vlad and all, I coincide with the clarification given by Vlad. Only statements from the PSO PC should be posted in the "new" area of the PSO web site, but those statement can have a single set of words agreed by all or a mixture of statements "agreed by all + agreed by some" as in the case of the Alternative Roots and the At Large. I also do not want places in the PSO web site for every supporting organization. For that purpose we all have our own web site.
