Like you I learned yesterday that Mr. McIntyre has discontinued maintenance of the GPGI web site. Notwithstanding his message on the thread, this was the very first indication of Mr. McIntyre's intention of taking the action which he did. Yesterday, in an e-mail, we have requested that Mr. McIntyre completely remove the web site immediately as we feel that in its present form it does more harm than good. We want to thank Mr. McIntyre for his efforts in the past. We have been under contract with Krono Media, kronomedia.com, to develop our company controlled web site. This company was suggested by one of you on the SI thread. It is our intention to completely redo the site. At present we have only news releases on the site. This action by Mr. McIntyre caught us by surprise and we are not ready for the Krono Media site. However, because of the need for a site we will probably initiate the site as soon as we can even with just the news releases.

Doug and all: Most of the time when I contact Dennis he does not provide any information for publication. I think that GPGI has not been able to provide meaningful information because they do not track the process from start to finish. Paul Skinner was hired to insure that the production process went "by the book" and that quality was most important. But Dick Jensen appears to have overruled Skinner(either directly or indirectly). He had committed to weekly shipments. I believe that Jensen was informed that the mixture in the resin columns needed more time and that he apparently insisted on sticking with a shorter time in order to make the weekly shipments. We have seen the result of that decision: no PGMs in the last shipments. Regards, Bob
