I read the Occupied WSJ and the Occupied Washington Times articles, both of which are excellent and both of which referred very positively to what you are doing. I think it is great also.

I see the time constraints you had which left you with no choice.

I hope you did not mind people asking questions, it was not personal at all and just an attempt to find the facts. Which you have supplied beautifully and for which I am very grateful. Now we can refute any negative reporting as we often see even here, with facts. It seems you have put a lot of thought into this, and about how to work with OWS.

I could see this being used as an attempt to create the impression that the movement is becoming splintered. That is why your coming here with the facts is so helpful.

Good luck with what you are doing, we will be following your progress with interest.
