[mobglob-discuss] VACOUVER STUDENTS CHAINED TO US CONSULATE

[Paul Browning]

Hi. Just to clarify (speaking as the moderator). I only logged onto my
e-mail at 11:50am so I was unaware of the messages waiting around this
action until now. Upon seeing the messages, I promptly authorized their
posting.

My sincere aplogies.
