Here's a sampling of the e-mail campaign generated by the supporters of Tom Draschil:

Your "proof" picture is crap. Here's who's in it:

Tom's son, his fiancee, Tom's wife, Tom, and the fiancee's parents.
Kenny has also accused Janet Perry, Dick's sister, as being one of Dick's
polyg. wives.

Thought you'd want to know that people aren't that stupid. You should
take it down before 1) you are sued and 2) you make an even bigger ass
of yourself.

(BTW, I asked a lot of questions to a lot of people around the K-Talk offices. Turns out Janet Perry, aka Janet Kelly, probably is Dick Perry's sister. She's divorced now. Interesting story I may tell sometime. - Astro)

Kenny,
You do not have permission to post my picture and a my fotolog on your website. You need to take them off of your site immediately. You know, as well as I do, that is a picture of me and my fiance, her parents and my parents. Why do you insist on turning it into something it is not?

Tommy -

Thanks for the note. I'm having that picture removed from my website as you requested though my understanding is that it is in the public domain. Could you please take a moment to answer the questions begged by the picture?

1. Why were both women snuggled up to Mr. D.?

2. Who is taking the picture?

3. If that is your fiancee's mother, how did your fiancee come to be a fair-skinned blonde?

Wondering,

Kenny Astro,
My picture is posted on your website. It is too be removed IMMEDIATLEY. My name is Anna Txxxxx and I am in the picture along with my mother and father, my fiance, Tom Draschil,and Cheryl Draschil. You said the picture speaks for itself regarding Tom Draschil and his polygamy affairs. My mother is NOT one of his wives, and I resent that she has been dragged into your fantasy to slander Thomas Draschil's name. I am engaged to his son, Cheryl the blonde is Tom's only wife. And my parents are happily married to each other. If I see any other pictures with my family or myself dragged into your warped preception to let the false-truths out, you will be contacted by legal authorities. Do I make myself clear? Thank you for clearing this up and taking care of this so promptly.

Kenny,
Thanks for your quick respose. I appreciate you taking the picture off of your website so quickly. I have since taken the picture off of my Fotolog so that it is no longer in the public domain. My fiancee and her parents were very alarmed about it. I'd be glad to answer your questions.

1. Why were both women snuggled up to Mr. D.?
My fiancee's Mom was telling everyone to bunch in for the picture and her Dad wasn't paying attention.

2. Who is taking the picture?
We asked the waiter to take a picture of us.

3. If that is your fiancee's mother, how did your fiancee come to be a fair-skinned blonde?
Her mother tans very easily. My fiancee has more of her father's skin.

Thanks,
Tommy

[None of which explains why I recognized Tommy's "future mother-in-law" from the K-Talk Christmas party - a party where the only attendees were K-Talkers and their spouses. Nor do we have an explanation for the seventh chair at the table in the picture, slightly askew as if someone had just stood up to, say, take a picture. Oh, and "tans easily?". Come on. -Astro]
