Thanks for the clarification.
jveritas, when you read the wiki link pay close attention to how they characterize the “April purge” I believe that when you see that you will question the veracity of their claims about anything concerning the history of FR.
They say that the “April purge” was because of favoritism to the Thompson’s campaign. That’s a hoot when you consider that one of Thompson’s most vocal supporters was banned/suspended during that time.
