James,
Prepare yourself for the onslaught. You're to be commended for taking the
initiative and it's very refreshing to see something informative and
positive on the O-List. Unfortunately, there are some here who's primary
purpose in life is only to bash Omega and Bill Cruz. It's an integral part
of their psychological make-up and they will do nothing else, no matter
what. Best of luck!
