SR - A Question Concerning Principality

[Martin, Brian]

Hey There,

Well, I wasn't questioning any reasons that someone may have for not
favoring the principality. I was asking if you no longer believed that
things were being done in a back door, which implied sneaky and under
handed, manner. I'm not trying to persuade you one way or another, I'm
trying to make sure that the air is clear of misunderstandings. (And by
misunderstandings, I mean just that. I don't think for a minute that
anyone has been motivated by malice.)
