Okay, I'm sorry I misunderstood. If you had said the site was great, that 
would have been one thing, but you said the article was "great...especially 
for IFB." The article was against the Cooperative Program, an SBC program. 
It seemed to be a, "we're better than you because we do it better" type 
post.

Honestly, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you and I really do believe 
you didn't mean any harm. I just wanted some clarification. Thanks for your 
response.

In Christ,
R. Dean Pesnell, 205-821-4989, rdeanpesnell@...
