I am asking all participants in the RSA newsgroup to
stop all postings that do not have to do with skiing.  A
truce is in order.  Ignore anything that is not friendly
and ski related.  Not responding in any way will make
all involved the better adults.  If they have any
questions they can e-mail me or call (206 684-8651).   

Please forward this to anyone on the group.  I am asking
ALL parties to stop the word war going on.  I appreciate
the cooperation of all parties involved.  

If we can gain a truce from all, I think the group can
get back on track.  

Det. Leanne Shirey
Seattle PD
