It appears that as of this morning, Mr. Sanders was not a member of the UT. So again, I really have nothing more to say on this.
To respond to your specific questions...
from whom did you learn that? ;-) From no one.
Frightening to your family? Well, what a shame they got involved. How did that happen, Kevin? My wife overheard me talking to someone on the phone about it. I rarely discuss anything from this forum with my family.
...it sounds as if you never did anything like that. Correct.
Beyond that, I think we should just agree to disagree.
