Retraction IGLTA Share    Last week's IGLTA eNewsletter regrettably contained a one-sided opinion commentary published in The New York Times. It generated a broad range of positive and negative comments from members, many who judged it very controversial — and expressed equal concern that it was unbalanced and absent other points of view. In the future, we will take care not to distribute such controversial articles unless we find, in these rare occasions, that we believe the subject matter is newsworthy and very important to our membership and we can include and host other points of view to provide reasonable balance. Please recognize also that all news articles and coverage that we share with our members are intended to keep us well informed of events, developments and trends critical to our industry, and none should be considered the opinions held by IGLTA or any of our members.
