Hi all, I've only lurked occasionally in the time since I was
participating here, but do expect some of you may find the following
interesting.

For those who believe the Spiritual, not Religious aspect of AA is
important, maybe best be aware of the way AAWS translated even the
Spiritual out of the official German Edition of the Big Book before
breaking the Anonymity of objecting members pertinent to the German
court case, and seemed to conveniently overlook perjury from AA in New
York used in the Mexican court case.
