Dear Fellow Participants,
As a journalist, I too, have made similar queries of ATP on this list
and via telephone. I have not received an answer to my queries about
these queries.
I have, therefore, chosen the only response I believe fitting, both
journalistically and practically: Until I get a response to each and
every question posted or posed by me or others on this list or
elsewhere, I will simply ignore ATP's presence, physically on this
list and politically in the arena.
Regretfully,
