Never heard a word of Tarusians being almost gone.  Not once.

Again...should have told us so we could have known.  First we've heard
about this, and much has been done to the contrary by myself and others
in a different direction.

Again...never heard a word of it before this moment.  Should have
brought it up months ago.

Should have informed people about it.

See above.

Again...I made public all of the information in the geleia writeup.
Noone EVER brought this up before now.

Then I want a writeup of such resources, actions, and who the stuff
came from.
