Reply to Commercial focus

[Guest guest]

Dear Oleji and Friends

 

DharmaDev calling from the Rudra Centre address

 

Sorry for the absence as have been really busy....Ashokji is correct

in requesting we get back to what this group site is designed

for....discussions need to get back to the original purpose........in

addition for Mr Ole who has been a member here for awhile.....it is a

known fact that this group site has been established and is sponsored

by Rudra Center.......we try to maintain a fair outreach program of

distribution to all and we try to maintain a consumer alert program

so people do not get into trouble with suppliers who are known to be

not trustworthy......we will continue to try and give the best

service we can

 

so now with that said we can all go back to haveing fun and being

Happy

 

Wishing all and your Families the Best of Health Happiness Success

and Prosperity
