I don't know what's going on between Pace and Levine but it sounds pretty
acrimonius. Contacting them may put me in the middle of a mudslinging match.
While I'm intensely curious to find out what's going on, I'm a bit hesitant to
contact them right now.
Anyhow, if anyone wants to read the San Jose Mercury News article that
got Pace so upset, it's at

If anyone else knows what's going on, please tell us about it.
