I am the person who sent the original message to correx-l@true net (Roy 
Carson). 

The source of the article was an announcement by one known to me as an 
Orthodox Jewish individual, and is well known in Orthodox Jewish 
circles. If you had received the original message in its entirety, it 
included names and telephone numbers of individuals connected to this 
company and the project.

I will be glad to post the article on this list as I received it (if I 
haven't deleted it).

Best regards,
