 ::::::::::: Sorry, I don't see how the quote verifies any claim about "splinter groups", as it doesn't mention anything splintering. Nor does the quote verify the claim that any of the groups is a descendant of any other. This brief quote is quite a slender reed on which to base any claim about the groups. If it's just one sentence in a long chapter, it suggests the topic of these groups isn't that important. Which would be understandable, since the NACM and the super-duper-extreme-straights don't exist any more as groups.   07:15
