I've heard that even the thought of either Salemski or Scionski in the buff is a very terrifying sight ... rofl at the thought of the old hogger dressed the same way ... or should that be "undressed?" here's a little free advice on how to get some quality air time: clothing optional. My pleasure, of course.

Very truly yours, Anthony Elgindy cc: Gary Dobry via e-mail jsaslow@corecomm.net knockoutart@aol.com PugsTKO@aol.com cc: Gerald Lefcourt, Esquire cc: Amy Cutson, Esquire Who is Gary Dobry ? you ask..noone really. I never really knew he even existed till recently, apparantly he has taken an obsessive stalking interest in me as well as others, but this sheds a little light on him. A former boxer, Gary Dobry, learned this the hard way when he posted pseudonymous messages on a stock bulletin board accusing a business executive of questionable stock transactions and dealing with "known felons." The executive filed a "John Doe" suit that allowed him to issue subpoenas to get Dobry's actual identity, and then sued him for spreading "false and defamatory information" about him. Although Dobry claimed that he had gotten his information from a fellow Internet poster whom he "mistakenly believed was trustworthy," he was the one who paid the price: a public apology, and a settlement that will make him immediately liable for $1 million in damages if he ever posts another word about the executive or his business. net4tv.com
