FYI
USO - United Service Organization
is demanding that the term USO is removed of of Bad Girls USO pages
that is located at tradewars.fament.com/guardian

We took those pages down earlier today and they will remain down until

the name since 41.

You know it's pretty funny. Twice we gotten nasty letters from lawyers
regarding webpages. First time was from Girl Scout of America and this
second time is from United Service Organization BOTH of them are
NON-PROFIT..... Go figure....
