A recent Employee BBS post read "It is the Chook Industries BBS Task
Force's (CIBBSTF)'s belief..." Isn't that a bit prescriptive and
overhanded on the Employee BBS's part? It the belief? Maybe I'm over
reacting. It is just a comment.

Please check your mails for typos in the future. In the line "It the belief" you forgot the word "is". Although the Chook Industries BBS Task Force (CIBBSTF) did not use it's editorial privileges this time; it does reserve right to use them in the future. Additionally when addressing the Chook Industries BBS Task Force (CIBBSTF), do so by its proper name and not by "Employee BBS". The Employee BBS and the Chook Industries BBS Task Force (CIBBSTF) are two very separate things.
