I would be astonished to think this actually represents the position of that company in Texas. They have been set up by someone who wishes to do them harm, possibly a disgruntled ex-employee or even current employee.

This thread surely has been deleted because it is BOGUS, and thus is unfair to the name of this business which in fact is PERFECTLY WILLING TO DEAL WITH ISRAEL.

That is what I would bet, dollars to half-donuts.

Or maybe even a COMPETITOR of theirs sent it, to slur them and take business away.

"This thread surely has been deleted because it is BOGUS..."

If that's what happened, then I'm in awe of the moderators' ability to discern instantly and flawlessly the truth of any newspaper article. Can we assume then that every thread that is not pulled may be treated as Holy Writ?

The fax is real; whether it came from the company's owner, from a lower-level manager or from the night cleaning crew has yet to be determined. We'll know soon enough, since TAE's answering machine is going to be clogged with messages from reporters and IRS agents tomorrow morning. But until then, how about we let the thread live this time, so that when the truth comes out there's a place to post it?
