GIVE IT A BREAK! Re: Lewis Family Response

[Linda Cowles <kadence@ix.netcom.com>]

This is directed at Tamara and anyone else tempted to continue this. Tamara,
you claim in the attached letter that you are always looking to
learn? Lets see it, girl. Steph posted this "enough" plea TWO
TIMES.  John Lyons techniques
work well on my horse, so here it goes; It's a learning opportunity.

Please RE reREAD the following from Steph.  I added bold font and spaced her excellent verbiage out so that maybe it would sink in this time.

EVERYONE is tired of this stuff, okay? Get a clue. Tamara, the letter below is some of the most sanctimonious B.S. I've ever waded through.
