Stuart,

Either I am so far out of touch with AA that I was totally aware of AA
sending out a speaker when they know there is controversy which is a
_far_ different matter from sending out speakers where they know they
won't face controversy. Of course, I've not seen it since, either.

You certainly must know as well as I do that sending out an official
representative for a radio show where two authors of AA were is so far
removed from the norm that it may never have happened before or again.

Either that or you are so far out of touch with what AA does and doesn't
do that you just didn't know and confused sending out speakers to
promote AA where they won't face controversy is the same thing.
