Re: Cogent & FDCServers: Knowingly aiding and abetting fraud and theft?

Ron,

I’m just saying that I randomly checked one fact and it doesn’t meet the level of positive certainty that you asserted. 
It’s thus reasonable to ask you to double check your research all around. I’m not willing to be your unpaid copy
