The web site http://alpha1.iadlw.net/~bootboy/main.htm
contains material which is clearly libelous in nature.

Since this material resides within your domain, I felt it
imperative that I contact you prior to advising legal counsel
on the nature of the action they should take; It is my
intention to demand a public retraction, and the removal of
the offending material, prior to legal action.

I would appreciate hearing from you with regard to this matter
at your earliest convenience.

Kenneth McVay
Director
