If so, then it makes a big difference. Jordan, could you confirm whether this is so or not? >I believe the reference to Jordan being an employee of Walnut Creek >CDROM is historical, or is a convenience for tax purposes. > >That being said, all of the above is hearsay, and could stand to be >definatively corrected by the only person who can correct it at >this time, which would be Jordan. > >Alternately, I believe the articles of incorporation are available >from the office of the Secretary of State, should this be truly >important to you (i.e. worth more than a list posting to find out).
